Force11 Workshop for Zotero for Datasets?
FORCE11 "is a community of scholars, librarians, archivists, publishers and research funders that has arisen organically to help facilitate the change toward improved knowledge creation and sharing."
I'm considering proposing a half-day workshop on implementing support for dataset import to Zotero for this year's FORCE2022 conference. Proposal deadline is October 20th, workshops would be Dec. 5. The goal would be to fix up existing data repository translators and add new ones.
Two questions about this, mainly for the Zotero team:
1) A precondition for this would be, I think, for the dataset item type to be officially available in Zotero by December -- is that going to be the case?
2) Would anyone else be interested in co-facilitating this -- either from the Zotero team or anyone else comfortable with translator coding.
I think this would create a lot of excitement and I'd love to see it happen.

edit: still very happy for someone to join me in facilitating. You don't need to be an expert in Zotero translators, but if you understand CSS selectors and some basic javascript, you're likely going to be able to help people out.
These can probably be used in Scaffold now (let me know if not), but the Connector may need to be updated for saving to work. We'll check that in the next few days.
- Scaffold works
- Embedded metadata translator works out of the box
- Icon for dataset is great
- Connector (Firefox) works, too, but has no icon at all when dataset is detected.
For the Connector, we're submitting 5.0.108 (with the icon fix) for Chrome and Edge now, so they'll probably be out later today. We're not currently able to release a Firefox update but hopefully will be able to soon.
