Jean, Even though I knew about this development at Zotero, It didn't occur to me that it might help org-Zotero integration. This is (or will be) pretty cool, when it happens.
And I see that they already have the beginnings of an alpha release: http://www.zotero.org/blog/zotero-everywhere-first-look/ Scot On Wed, Oct 13, 2010 at 10:18 AM, Jean-Marie Gaillourdet <j...@gaillourdet.net> wrote: > Hi, > > sorry to bring up this old thread, but there rather are rather new > developments at Zotero which might interesting to people here.
