This is something I learned early on. The dangers of saying something stupid (or slanderous, or sinful) on the new are exponentially increased by interacting anonymously or pseudonymously. I use my real name on everything as a kind of accountability. That opens you up to the dangers described above, but it also encourages me to be more careful. And the latter is more important.

Well, this would be the case whether or not you had Dropbox installed, right?

It doesn't really look like bibliographic software. Am I mistaken?

Well, for one thing, I couldn't find any option to format a Bibliography or to format footnotes in a particular style, like Zotero does (Chicago, MLA, SBL, etc). Am I just missing something?

The lack of different document types was another issue. All the fields are there (if you select Generic), but Bibliographies are formatted differently based on different types.

500mb is nice for online storage, but if you stick your Zotero database into your dropbox directory, you get 2gb. (If you don't already have Dropbox, use my promotion code for 250mb of extra storage: https://www.getdropbox.com/referrals/NTExMjczNzk )

Am I missing something? Looks promising though. I'm leaving it installed to see where it goes.

By the way, Zotero offers most of what you like about Mendeley, or is supposed to in the near future.

Been looking at it. It does not do everything I need. I'm going to post a comparison soon.

Time permitting, of course. Which it probably won't. Zotero has been pretty good about provided video demonstration themselves, and will probably do so when they provide a final release. But we shall see. Working on a group for the Epistle to the Hebrews first.

It's ancient Greek. I wouldn't be able to translate Old English. Or Modern Greek, for that matter. To each his own....

Ooooh. I think I'm right about that little "eschatological" bit. Jacob does Black Shirt that there is only One End, and everything else is just getting there. Or something like that. Jacob is the eschatologist, Black Shirt the Greek cyclicist.

Some of this is a name change. They're adding so much, they need a version number to match. aka Firefox.

Kinda the opposite of the Linux community. We add a bunch of stuff, and upgrade it from 0.99.1.0012a to 0.99.1.0012b
