I think I can prepare a patch directly for Invenio 0.99.1 for the unAPI handler plus MODS export which are necessary to support Zotero. The MODS export comes directly for free as a mapping from MARCXML offered by <http://www.loc.gov/standards/mods/mods-mapping.html>. According to Zotero forums, Zotero supports as input: MODS, BibTeX, MARC, RDF, RIS, BibIX. Among these only BibTeX and MARC where directly available in Invenio, but BibTeX export don't exploit all the MARC details, while the MARC export is not exactly in the serialized format (with a leader a directory field etc. is not compatible with Zotero) expected by Zotero. Unfortunately Zotero doesn't support MARCXML for the time being. So I've added the support for MODS and it seems to work pretty well... I'll prepare a patch for you in the next days...
