A few months ago I revealed the problems in the referencing system in LO. After that discussion, (not mentioning a partnership with zotero because of the reasons below) I was going to contact zotero for input and feedback and pass it onto to LO. Although I never got around to it.
As a common user of libreoffice. I have tested zotero and it works at the moment as an extension for LO with LO. Zotero would have to be compatible with proprietary software it's as simple as that to get my vote. That would be the only reason why I would vote for zotero as a default referencing system for LO. it still has compatibility issues with proprietary software. One main reason is that educational institutions still use proprietary software. There are many reasons for this which i don't need to explain. Referencing system issues in LO I will publish onto a wiki and send a link tomorrow about it. And maybe make suggestions about zotero? ljelly On Thursday, 16 August 2012, Anthony Easthope wrote: > Its not essential to have the zotero server as part of it although that > is a nice feature. > It is now up-to Florian perhaps to voice his opinion? it would be good > to see this idea taken to the next level as it to me seems to be a win > win situation, Suppose we could always vote on it.
