I am a very fan of Zotero, but it's a couple of months that I stopped using it. Because newer versions of Firefox are really CPU and memory consuming and I prefer using Google Chrome or even IE. So, in my opinion it's vital for Zotero to release a standalone version as soon as possible.
Hi, Just wondering if there's any kind of a timeline for a beta release or some such. I'm asking because I'd like to urn a workshop or two to get my colleagues to switch over to zotero, but a standalone product will be much easier to sell than a browser plugin -- if zotero everywhere is going to come long in just a few months I'd as soon wait. Thanks much!

until the everywhere-version is finished for production I like the idea using the second firefox-profile proposed by krueschan.
But I was wondering, if it's possible to use zotero the same time also from the default-profile. At the moment I get an error with information that zotero couldn't start in one of the profiles if the other is running in zotero is installed.
The Advantage: you have one clean zotero-profile with no other extensions (e.g. noscript which still doesn't work with zotero) but can also access zotero from the default profile - to add literatur quickly while browsing.
I'll try if the pref. extensions.zotero.dbLockExclusive (in about:config) is responsible for this. But I'm afraid that database could get inconsistent when accessing from two locations?
i just tried with an backup.
but: it doesn't work at all. In the profile I started second, I got "Database upgrade error". Each profile for itself works.
Thanks for answers. That was what I thougt. Ok - so this workaround for having a "standalone" zotero is very limited - as far as there is no connection from any other firefox-profile. So waiting for the standalone-version ;-)

Any hints?
