Bruce, Thanks for pointing out Zotero. I didn't know about it. I installed it and it looks promising.
However, I don't see where Zotero helps with OOo bibliographies. According to: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Bibliographic_Hints_and_Tips#How_to_load_Zotero_reference_data_into_Openoffice. The Zotero references are loaded into the existing OOo database for references. Is there some other route to putting Zotero references in OOo documents? I'm assuming something else must be in development based on your e-mail, but I can't find if it is implemented. -Matt --- Bruce D'Arcus <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I just sent Mathias an off-list note, but was > thinking a bit more, > so ... > > Developers working with the Zotero project > (http://zotero.org) just > about have OOo integration sorted out.
