Hi Stephen,

Re. zotero-plain [1] & integration with Zotero standalone, it would
depend on what external interface Zotero standalone is presenting for
integration with external programs (e.g. the Chrome or Safari
extensions), which is not at all clear to me. zotero-plain currently
depends on mozrepl, which I do not think would distributed with Zotero
standalone.

However, with a few modifications it should be possible to get
zotero-plain to work with the zotero.org web API, which would provide
most of the benefits of Zotero standalone, although you would be
relying on a 3rd party service.

best, Erik
