Hi Felix, I started to use Zotero again and I was wondering if you made any progress on its integration with ownCloud. After having a look at the code of zotero/dataserver on github, it seems to me that molding that code into an ownCloud app is going to be very hard. It reminds me of when I started to write the feed aggregator. The first idea was to try molding Lilina's code (http://getlilina.org/) into an oC app, but then it turned out that writing something from scratch was going to be easy and so I did. What do you think? Would it be easy to write an owncloud app that does the same thing? I don't know the status of the readers in owncloud, but it's even possible that something very similar already exists.
On the client-side, maybe a plugin for firefox is an overkill and the web-interface of an owncloud app would be enough.
