Just a thought, which may not align with what the Zotero team is thinking ... The Zotero team hasn't expressed much enthusiasm for dedicating programmer time to making this easy. This is I think in part b/c the Zotero 2.0 vision is essentially base…

I usually use a generic document or webpage type to encode the transcript information. I don't think the zotero model and ui is currently flexible enough to handle this correctly in terms of being able separately represent and link, say, the speec…

We need to protect the IP around CSL, which I think presumes it's better to be explicit about the terms of use around the styles. While INAL, I think it would be nice to have a policy on this. Maybe all styles by default have one of the CC license,…
-
Oh, one thing to look at is where the prefix/suffix is configured. It might be you just need to add these to the macro calls.
-
I think the CSL that Rintze proposes is correct, and that this is probably a bug. Would be nice to write a test for Frank's new processor.
-
Hmm ... looking at the zotero 2.0 blog post screenshot, it seems I am incorrect. Am perhaps just having some UI issue then. I can't drag-and-drop a collection on a group successfully. I do see that I can create a collection directly from the group t…

To me, a zotero item is two separate things, with two separate URIs. The item per se is effectively a bookmark, containing who bookmarked it (me), when they did it, the tags they assigned it, and the notes and attachments they associate with it. Th…

Would you expect any app to emit RDF based on a header request, alone, on the first beta rollout? Tough crowd ;-) Well, it's not like this is the first time I've raised this issue. And as I said in the previous post, I wasn't so much expecting the …
-
OK, Dan; but what about my point that what you call a user item is actually two separate things: the metadata about the source, and the user's referencing of it (notes, tags, etc., etc.)? This is more of a modeling point, but it does have implicatio…
-
I don't really see a technical problem here. If a user changes their name, and a call comes in on the old URI, the response will be something like a 301 or a 307 not a 404. If the calling application can't handle the redirect, it's fragile and needs…
-
Goes back to earlier discussion about a plan for identifiers. On first glance, one could make the argument that the local note in your sqlite db and the online version at zotero.org might be identified by the same URI, but that there just might be…
-
I guess it is not easy to implement, but it would be a tremendous help if there was a GUI to change - not create - existing styles. Often, I only have to change a few things, and it would save me a lot of time if there was a straight forward "style …
-
Not to place for this. Try google, #swig no irc.
-
Well, first, I don't consider WordPress a model; I was just referring to their slugifying. As for the choice, this presumes there's a compelling need for users to change their usernames. My position is there is not. The issue here is that Zotero.…
-
The unique permanent identifier is the serial number! Come on Rick; this is a hack. You have a URI which is effectively opaque, and a bunch of black magic redirects.
-
Also, another issue we've periodically chatted about forever: have you worked out how you're going to distinguish URIs for user items (which I submit are just glorified bookmarks) and the sources they are referencing?
-
note: posted before I read Dan's note; but still applies ;-) OK, there are two separate issues here. There's the somewhat anal aesthetics of pretty URIs. This is admittedly not that important (though obviously something I care about). There's also…
-
On the URIs; I don't care about being able to change my user name. I care about having dead stable URIs that can be used to link data together. This kind of thing is not encouraging when you start to scale it out. On the slugifying, it certainly is…

I use xubuntu, which is ubuntu, but using XCFE instead of GNOME. But I'm using it on a fairly new, and fast, Thinkpad.
-
The data will be totally open, and able to be bulk-downloaded.
-
This is a bit off-topic, but I'm hoping to get Zotero to use (and maybe contribute to) this new in-development service. Some, but not all. of the data includes short titles.
-
The same CSS you use to display the notes in Zotero is the same technology that displays it in your web browser. Not sure if there's a way to change the default CSS in the report outputs, but that's what you'd want.
-
As for being straightforward, I was thinking of something as simple as adding another two companion files to system.sql and zotero.properties - ones that I could customize to add new data types, yet these wouldn't get overwritten by an upgrade but w…
-
If you search the forums, you'll see this has come up more than once before. The focus of Zotero is scholarly, and scholarly data demands some rigor. So adding custom types ad doing it right is not exactly straightforward.
-
I don't think so; if it was possible at all, it wouldn't be easy.

What adamsith said re: Endnote. This is a company with a pretty reprehensible record of a) yearly, expensive, paid, bug fixes, and b) suing their competitors on baseless grounds. I wouldn't base my career on anything they say in a forum. As for you…
-
@cmbarton: I thought the spurious line-break issue was fixed. Are you using the latest version of Zotero and the OOo plugin? What I'm basically saying is that a) Zotero generated content should be tagged with styles, and b) one should use styles t…
-
@polar: read up on CSS. If, for example, you change this ... body.mceContentBody, body.mceContentBody p { font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; } ... to this: body.mceContentBody, body.mceContentBody p, li, blockquote { font-family: "Tim…

1. The organization of zotero-stored files in the zotero folder is obscure. By placing all imported PDFs into randomly named folders, zotero prevents the use of the PDFs through the operating system.... Agreed. 2. User-modifications of bibliographic…
-
@Dan: yes, I know. The comment was aimed at people requesting this. Of course, if we collectively manage to solve the interop issues I've been harping on, users have to worry less about any given tool (like Zotero) supporting their workflow. In the…
