I probably misstated that. As there is no series index, I'm leaving it to calibre to set a value. That will let calibre use the series index from another site when it merges the results.

Regarding the p-nnn codes, there is a new catalog number: http://baenebooks.com/p-2848-her-brothers-keeper.aspx corresponds to http://www.baen.com/catalog/product/links/id/2834 for example. The catalog numbers track the old product codes for the most part, but every now and then there’s a product code that doesn’t exist in the new system and the catalog numbers fall behind by 1. (Unfortunately the catalog URL does not have any book metadata, nor does it link to the main book page. )
Good to know I suppose, but not very useful as it doesn't have the metadata. Stripping the prefix and number seems to work, so I'll stick to that.

Some of this conversation should probably happen on Baen’s Bar, probably in the Toni's Table conference (also accessible via NNTP).
I'm not sure what you are referring to. Everything I can see in the last week or so is about problems with the plugin, so this is the proper place for that discussion.
