Oh, and I don't know if I want zotero associated with a project that
deletes long standing bugs with a huge amount of detail simply because
they are old, as LO just did.....

Hi Guys
I have a proposition for you all and am not sure if you would class it as
a feature request or a partnership suggestion.
My idea is as follows: The Document Foundation partners up with Roy
Rosenzwieg Center for History and New Media and work together on making The
Zotero project an integral part of the LibreOffice frame work.
I have the feeling that I might be treading on thin ground here but I will
outline my reasons as to why this could work below
* Libreoffice is perfect for use within university's / schools as it can
be easily distributed thanks to the GNU license the same goes
for Zotero
* The use of Zotero could replace the inbuilt Bibliography & referencing
tool as the current one is quite bewildering to use for
many people
* Zotero has a nice GUI and can work in with Firefox via an extension
which is also open source so at the same time we are not just
supporting one open-source initiative but three!
* Zotero is open to suggestions and it appears to other projects as well
* Increased awareness of The Document Foundation program via Zotero
related media attention (Vice Versa for LO and Zotero)
* it would bring a fresh feel to the whole project and could even mean a
new approach and reinvigorate the project
Let me Know what you think and feel free to shoot me down if you so wish!
Regards
Anthony Easthope
