Another known issue is that Zotero doesn't work on Jessie because of its dependency on a now deprecated Mozilla library called XULrunner [1], and as a result citoid results will be a lot poorer. I'm not sure we ever really resolved how to deal with this. Zotero is going to be removing the dependency on XULrunner eventually, but I suspect our timeline is significantly ahead of theirs. We discussed using Zotero's translators ourselves natively, but never made any progress on it.[2]
