on the problem with the firefox window coming to the front see this discussion http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/3528/addedit-citation-dialog-not-in-front/ and this workaround https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Zotero#Window management for the O…

I checked the Chicago Manual (15th). They have two explicit references to exhibition catalogs, pretty brief ones. 8.208: titles of catalogs are italicized, references to the exhibition itself are not. And the important, helpful one, 17.240: "Ex…

Hi everybody, Sean has announced on zotero-dev that the server source code will be released "end of this week" and the release note (link in previous comment by adamsmith) confirms that the server will not be supported by CHNM, as has been stated in…

You can also define relations between a book item and booksection items, but you have to do that manually, after you've defined both items. It's rather tedious and I've given up on doing that. It would be great if you could grab all sections fro…

I'm not sure about style guidelines but I have noticed exhibition catalogs can be an awkward to fit with the book type. Possibly what's needed is a "curator" person role. There's a lot of variation but one problem I've encountered is multiple auth…

cumuluss makes an excellent point here, especially about collaboration. More generally, this aspect of zotero - relying on OO-or-word macros - has always made me queasy. I've even reached the conclusion I don't want to use this feature for my di…

If you're copying the html source, it looks like you need to change the path to the flash content. For example the screencast on this page http://www.zotero.org/support/screencast_tutorials/basic_search points to the flash movie at "/static/video…

to follow on bdarcus and ajlyon and the "disconnect ... between zotero-dev and Trac" - two specific comments ... I might not be making any friends here :-0 * I remember the first time I looked at zotero-dev. I said, "this is a joke, obviously not …

Dan, about Redmine. I'm currently using Redmine for my (bill-paying) job. I love it. It's the perfect balance of features you want without bloat. Running about 9 months with zero problems. A few admin and UI quirks but nothing major. I set it…

I think this is a great idea - thanks mark! Agree with fbennett that we should cultivate a more diverse set of information tools around the zotero project. Forums are good for some things but here far too broadly used, for purposes where other t…

Just a friendly bump. And a response to some of the comments above. Just my own observations, but perhaps helpful to some, since official commentary has not been forthcoming. If I'm wrong maybe someone official will say so! AFAIK no one has said…

Book reviews present similar problems and have been discussed a lot here. I generally hack around it by embedding extra information in the title, in brackets. Following the example above, I'd make this as a journal article with the title Changin…

Also I want to reiterate Frank's point. Having a "person" entity could help with multi-lingual citations but it doesn't address the issue of dealing with multiple representations of author's name, title, etc. for an individual item. Sometimes disc…
-
I'd like the ability to attach notes and tags to a "person." In fact sometimes I do this in a hackish way, by creating a "document" item with a person's name and a title something like "[misc. notes]". More precisely that would be "notes not att…
-
Further to the exchange between bdarcus and noksagt, if we start from zotero today, we have a citation-centric model. We grab data from catalogs, indexes, electronic journals and so on, with attendant mutations, inconsistencies, and downright error…
-
As Dan points out the item you're citing is one thing, the person another. Basically the same issue arises with the "work" as opposed to particular editions, translations, and so on. It seems to me the only real solution here is a full-blown dat…

This would be a nice feature. Very common problem when using non-English and translated sources, particularly with certain languages. Note that differing diacriticals or spellings are not necessarily "incorrect" - different publications may have…

nice index fbennett! Just a minor hair-splitting comment here. That zotero has few and tightly-controlled types is a design decision. Yes, it has the advantages noted. But it's not the only way things could be done. One could argue for entire…
-
Dr. Evicko, excellent point that there may be no one-size-fits-all solution. Especially for complex semantics: some people want rigor, but for others this would likely be pointless, off-putting complexity. I'm no expert on tagging but my impres…

Alternatively you could modify the style to be in-text, with the full citation in text, no footnote. Then just insert each citation into your cv as you would footnotes. as discussed in this thread: http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/11870/curricu…

seems to me difficult to come up with a single governing metaphor. For someone like me, who works primarily with old-fashioned books and journal articles, a "bookshelf" might work. (or more accurately, a random stack of books and papers gatherin…

Lately syncs have been painfully slow during US daytime (especially 9-5 EST). You might try again in off-hours, for me syncs are instantaneous at night.

The only time it's worth reporting a spinning sync icon is if it's been syncing for more than a few hours A few hours!? Could you clarify when it's OK to shut down firefox? And I'd really rather not have to check zotero.org to confirm the changes …

another vote for this feature. For those who do annotated bibliographies a big big increase in functionality. Also to me this is clearly within Zotero's core mission (the definition of which is a topic I would like to see discussed more extensivel…

fbennett's idea works. mbnielsen, if you have problems I can give you a custom Chicago style I use this way. To reiterate, the idea is to have a full citation - but in text, without footnote or bibliograpy. I have used this approach for annotated…

Wouldn't this be a non-issue if institutions could run their own servers? Wouldn't the best way to encourage contributions be to release the server source?

to state the obvious, for academics, sources like JSTOR can generally be trusted. If you're downloading random pdfs from warez sites, that's another story. If you're concerned about this as a general problem it's a virus-scanning issue. There i…
