I'm looking for "author/editor, year". So pass the option "natbib" or "author-year" or whatever you prefer to biblatex. See "texdoc biblatex", section "3.3.1 Citation Styles". Or use biblatex-chicago. I use it like this: \usepackage[authordate, natbib, backend=biber,citetracker=true, uniquename=mininit, ibidtracker=false, maxcitenames=2]{biblatex-chicago} —Rasmus -- I hear there's rumors on the, uh, Internets. . .
