Well, here's some web 2.0 nonsense: http://www.docverse.com/. Looks cool to me in the way that Zotero was cool to someone who'd been stuck using something like Endnote for years. Given that Google now owns DocVerse and is a supporter of LibreOffice,…

Interesting commentary here: http://gigaom.com/2010/09/28/libreoffice-an-idea-whose-time-has-come-and-gone/ Let's hope the new freedom allows them to innovate.

The toolbar also won't appear in my installation of Word 2007. I am using the current version of Zotero and latest Word 2007 plugin. I tried reinstalling the plugin but that didn't work. Zotero.dot is in C:\Documents and Settings\MyName\Applic…

Agreed. Different solutions will work for different people. I started using JungleDisk before Zotero offered attachment syncing. My main reason for using JD is that the storage was fairly cheap and scalable, I could use it for other types of fi…

A lot of cloud services like, Dropbox and JungleDisk, use Amazon S3 storage on the backend. In fact, Zotero itself also uses Amazon S3. So what's being debated in most cases is the frontend to S3, which differ in terms of easy of use, features, and …

Mark: I don't think there are any product solutions. Anti-virus and the usual tools for scanning for malware are very bad at identifying malicious PDFs. The most effective solution is simple and free: keep up-to-date with patches and turn-off Javasc…

I didn't suggest that Zotero take "special precautions against this". I'm not sure what the Zotero people could do that would be effective, aside from including some basic end-user security education on their site. It's not really their problem. …

Interesting. My first reaction is that this is exactly why PDFs have become such an important vector for malware: users think there is little risk. Couple that with Acrobat/Reader being full of critical security bugs, ubiquitous use, and few users b…

Some people are using Sync Preview to utilize third-party web-based storage. For example, you can use Sync Preview with JungleDisk to store Zotero data on Amazon S3. http://jungledisk.com/ http://aws.amazon.com/s3/

There are a number of different versions of OpenOffice. My advice is to stick with the ones from Novell if you want the best compatibility with Microsoft Office (Novell and Microsoft collaborate on this) files and various other refinements. The Nove…

I agree with Dan that there's little excuse for transferring data using unencrypted connections. Unfortunately, I think there are lots of people, including people in IT departments, who perceive security as nothing but work, expense and inconvenienc…

I'm glad there will be S3 support. S3 appears to provide cheap, scalable, and flexible storage on a well-tested system. Jungledisk (http://www.jungledisk.com) appears to provide a webdav interface to Amazon S3. Don't know whether a Zotero wit…

Online storage is a commodity. At the moment you could use Amazon S3 (which us used by services like Smugmug and many others). Similar services will probably be available from Google and Microsoft in the near future as these companies are building m…
