Upgrade StorageItem types to add
It seems to be there should be a common place in forums to suggest new item types. Here are two examples:
Bibliographic software programs like Endnote don't have these, but it would be nice to automatically detect these and import as item types.
syllabus:
http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/History/21H-952JReadings-in-American-History-Since-1877Fall2003/Syllabus/index.htm
(one could adapt Dan Cohen's syllabus finder to make it possible for Zotero detect these)
archival collection:
http://lcweb2.loc.gov/cgi-bin/faidfrquery/F?faidfr:1:./temp/~faid_16Im::
(many archives now put their finding aids online in a standard format that should be easy to detect; archival collection reference type could be used to create a list of archives for a bibliography or track abbreviations)
