By that logic we wouldn't use LibreOffice either. I agree with you that any such project needs to aim for a "zero effort" migration path from other systems to LibreOffice, much like it is for Zotero. That situation can only improve as adoption grows, which will need your support and vote. We can't cite current limitations as a reason to not go for it, though. When the gains and (monetary, among others) impacts to switch are enough, financing the effort to reach such "zero effort" for end-users becomes possible, particularly in large deployments. > I will > publish onto a wiki and send a link tomorrow about it.

I would add the suggestions I made in a previous post so they aren't lost in conversation :) Cheers, Fabian Rodriguez http://libreoffice.magicfab.ca -- -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
