Hi,
I regret to agree about the OOo bibliographic features.
Zotero is very nice, but getting Zotero IDs into an Org-mode document
(see Eric Hetzner's zotero-plain,
https://bitbucket.org/egh/zotero-plain) and then into OOo in a form
where they'll be useful (no ready solution I know of) is a somewhat
complex task. If Bibtex is your starting point and you want to
maintain your bibliography in Bibtex (and why wouldn't you, if you can
/deliver/ your work as LaTeX/PDF), the round trip will be more complex
and fragile yet.
What are your minimal bibliographic requirements for documents to send
your supervisor? If you're using author-date citations and a reference
list, I might have a crude stopgap.
Yours,
Christian

Hi Matt!

The zotero Standalone Alpha has a Chrome extension. I think using Zotero is
a much better bet than trying to use the native OOo bibliographic features
which were always very primitive, never really expanded as they were
supposed to be, and have, I believe, more or less rotted in the last several
years. there have been threads on this list about using zotero with
org-mode; now that org-odt as been incorporated into the org relase (yay!)
maybe someone will figure out how to translate zotero ids into odt documents
using the command-line version of OOo or something.
I know close to nothing about Zotero except that I have installed the
extensions for Firefox and LibreOffice.
I am willing to install the standalone Zotero. It has connectors for
Chrome and OpenOffice, so that should work.
Thanks,
Henri-Paul
