retitle 504058 ITP: zotero -- program to collect, manage and cite bibliographic 
information
thanks

The conversation on this bug seemed to end two years ago with no
consensus on what to do. Some people suggested that it would be useful
to have the Zotero extension packaged in Debian. Others disagreed
basically because they don't think FireFox/IceWeasel extensions should
be packaged in Debian at all.

In any case, recent upstream developments with Zotero change the
situation. The next version of Zotero is being developed as a
standalone application. As a result, this version of Zotero certainly
should be packaged in Debian. I am a maintainer and very heavy Zotero
user and I am happy to do it.

There is currently an "alpha" version as Zotero Standalone. I'm going
to create packages for Zotero standalone and I'll follow up with a
link to them here. Probably when upstream releases a "beta", I will
upload those packages into Debian. I probably won't upload them
before.

Please contact me if you want to work on this or help, etc.

Regards,
Mako
