Sorry for disappearing for a few days (somehow, my RSS reader flaked and stopped indicating new posts to this thread)... A few posts back, CloudOfDust pointed to an apparent contradiction between two statements of mine, one of which seemed to a…

You've got a few options already - a simple way to do this would be to just tag everything for work with "work" and everything for home with "home", and set up smart collections for each. If, however, you're looking for more advanced functionality, …

CoD: "We cite them differently? The citation gives the information for the item and tells the reader where to find it. I don't see how it makes any difference to the bibliographic software whether the "container" is the original or a reproduction." …

Bruce, I totally agree. My point wasn't to say that only technical contributions matter, but rather about the historical development of open source culture - because the people who've been most involved have been fluent programmers, the two function…

There is an important point emerging here and elsewhere, that the broader philosophical discussions about the utility and affordances of research software are entangled with technical discussions of how those principles are actually implemented in c…

Actually, I've been meaning to join the list for a while, so thanks for the nudge!

I'd also chime in and say that there's potential for a more sophisticated utility to be built here, which would essentially allow drag-and-drop addition of references from within Zotero to Wilipedia pages (being edited from within the browser itself…
