Hi Tierney,

I use Zotero to export literature as a biblatex/bibtex library with many
items in a .bib file. What would be nice is to have to drop a .bib file
into tiddlywiki and after clicking import, a startup module that runs in
the background reacts and parses the bibtex and saves the output as
tiddlers using the bibtext keys as tiddler titles and the fields as
tiddler fields. They text in the bibtex keyword field could be stored as
tags in tiddlywiki. Bibtext is very easy to parse so you could write
your own parser and put it as a library module into your plugin...

Not sure if you want to achieve this, but that would be my usecase :)
and would make a great addition to use tiddlywiki for literature and zotero.
