Post directly to a group using connectors (for a web browser)

Dear Zotero and Zotero users,

I would like to post to a group library. Can I do that from the connector for Google Chrome (not using a standalone Zotero, just the web interface)?

In CiteULike and Mendeley I can do that, but I am not able to find out how to do it (or if it is possible) in Zotero.

Kind regards,
L

It's not currently possible.

Thanks Simon, then I do not have to search more now ;-)

Unfortunately I need this functionality to be able to suggest Zotero instead of CiteULike or Mendeley for a relatively large group of people (> 2000). When is it planned to arrive?

note that Mendeley has a limit on users/group so that may not work.
Could you describe what you're trying to do more precisely?

Thanks adamsmith, I was not aware of that. I will check it.

also, you _can_ create new items in a group using the online interface, i.e. w/o anything Zotero related installed - you would have to input all data manually, though.
What you can't currently do is use the connector to e.g. put a JSTOR article directly into a group library using the icon in the URL bar.

Yes, adamsmith, I know that is possible, but I think it would be totally useless in this large group. (Everyone will not contribute, but without a very good interphase for quick saving much fewer will.)

Thanks for the info about JSTOR.
