You give a lot of detail on the general problems you've experienced, but none on the specifics (which linux version, which version of firefox, etc.). I have never experienced any of those problems on either OS X or Ubuntu. You might want to take a …

A closed-source proprietary app could not borrow anything of the Zotero code, and so any such developer probably shouldn't even look at it. But so long as the Zotero API is documented (is it??), they don't need to.
-
I vaguely recall there's been discussion of this previously. Did you try a search of the forum?
-
I personally have a pretty visceral reaction against the closed-stack path that Apple is going down, and so have zero interest in the iPad myself. But I think examples like the new third-party Gnotero app might be a good model for this sort of thing…

is there any reason why the citations in the group library shouldn't have the same unique identifier? Yes, since they're not the same record. Fixing this is going to take a fundamental rethink.
-
This has come up for ages. The bibliography should be tagged with a "bibliography" style.
-
What does the "Database Name" field actually refer to? Is it effectively the dataset title that is used to generate the map, or does ti actually refer to the database software?
-
No (more for legal than technical reasons; see google for extensive discussion of Thompson Reuters' now-defunct lawsuit on issues related to this). If there are errors, the better approach is to help create a fresh CSL. I wouldn't be surprised if t…
-
@vickylin: think he's just noting the source of the error so others can fix it (though it may or may not address this issue you're having).
-
Maybe I'm just being a social scientist, but ... Those periodical issues contain hundreds of article-like parts. How does one denote exactly what one is citing (a speech on the floor, testimony before a committee, etc.)?
-
That's not a full citation, though?
-
Rather than say what template you need, why not just tell us what specific pieces of data you cannot now store?
-
I'm not seeing any issues myself, using 64-bit xubuntu and latest zotero and plug-in.
-
Just a reminder that not all smartphone users are iPhone users, and hope neither the design nor its promotion will make that assumption.
-
The current page on citations is pretty fragmented, presenting people with a bunch of options that may be a little overwhelming. It might be good to have a "Authoring your Word or OpenOffice documents with Zotero" page which shows how to use the plu…

On the gender issue, there are various ways to do it, each with trade-offs. If you're being totally generic like this, you could just use the gender-neutral "they." If you want to get a little more concrete, you can give the hypothetical user a name…
-
And a suggestion: when considering hypothetical users, don't assume their gender ("he"). Also, I'd be careful about assuming people start with 3x5 cards. That might be old school practice among historians, but I'm skeptical how general it is.
-
Ahem, Colleen would typically be a "she" ;-) On the content, I experimented with using Zotero in my grad seminar this past term. In general, people didn't struggle with the basics (getting started grabbing citation data and such). But some did stru…
-
Well, that's not very helpful. Can you be a little more specific? For example, if you go to the support page, what specifically there is not meeting your needs, and how? Can you offer some specific suggestions on how these pages might be improved? …
-
So are you saying, for example, that the information on the et al rules here and here are incorrect/outdated? It's easy enough to fix, but I just want us to be 100% sure before making the change, since everyone will get it (and no, I'm not going to…
-
Bdarcus, no offense, but do you know APA? Pick up APA 5th or 6th edition. If you want people to help you, this isn't at all the way to respond.
-
Capitalization in citation and bibliography output is defined in the style file. If you want people to change it, please provide documentation links that justify the change. I, for example, have no seen evidence that APA says not to capitalize title…
-
However, as good as Chrome is, I think one will be necessary. I hope Zotero won't keep dismissing the issue and trying to stifle discussion by closing threads like this one. These threads are a waste of everybody's time. People at Zotero have repeat…
-
Suggestion: add an explicit FAQ entry about Chrome (there isn't one now), and close this thread.
-
No offense mate! Of course you meant offense; that was the point of your post. And yes, I take offense. I was mainly asking because sometimes people are working with old information about MLA rules, and so incorrectly assuming titles should be und…
-
There's no reason that a third-party couldn't write this, though.
-
I'm with adamsmith. Zotero should make it possible to integrate this sort of thing in other workflow solutions, but this is way out of scope for this project per se. Zotero does not have to do everything.
-
The new Chrome extension architecture would not allow a true Zotero port, but it would allow one to create a lightweight extension to grab data and send it to one's Zotero account. Might be nice, too, if Zotero moved to a server-based architect…
-
Oh, one other potentially relevant piece of information: normally when you create a note, the TinyMCE interface opens up. In this case, it didn't, and all I saw was an "untitled note" line (no TinyMCE).
-
Sigh. I created the report and copied the number to the clipboard, but thought I'd restart to check your last question (should have done that earlier of course). Unfortunately, that cleared the clipboard as well. So I don't know how to get you the r…
