Re: [libreoffice-users] Zotero Integration with LO [Proposition / Feature Request?]

Hi :)
I think TDF, just like other companies and organisations, could have more than 1 product.  It might 
be best if they bring their community and structures with them and retain a lot of independence and 
work-flow but obviously there might be some things that TDF could offer or would want such projects 
to incorporate.  I had thought such projects might include database back-ends, Gnome Office (if 
that needs a home), Calligra Office (although they are probably well organised already).  

Probably it's all been discussed on the discussion's list here but this is an exciting time for TDF 
and there are a lot of opportunities for planning road-maps into the future.  
Regards from
Tom :)

See zotero.org 
You will find a few videos
It is what you might think of as a bibliographic tool. I recommend it to all my students (along 
with FF and LO.) It also provides for sharing of collaborati libraries. I would have to suggest 
that the zotero community might appear to be less prone to spatting and more cohesive, and that 
would be my only heartburn in a closer relationship.....
