Re: [tdf-discuss] Libre Office & Zotero Integration [Proposition of a New Partner?]

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?
