Comment 28 for bug 239575

In an attempt to revive this thread, I thought I would mention that Zotero is now at version 2.0.2, and considered stable.

Zotero is quickly becoming an essential tool for academics, and as an academic myself I feel it is important that it gets included in the repos (I think it should even be in the Software Centre's 'Featured Applications', but that's another story). In fact, judging from the comments in the zotero forums, quite a few Ubuntu users are using it.

I think it is also important to have zotero in the repos because the new OOo extension (it is now a Firefox extension that automatically sets up the OOo extension) poses a problem for Ubuntu users which is difficult to solve by an inexperienced user, namely the icedtea java plugin needs to be removed and replaced with the sunjava plugin. Installing from synaptic or the software centre could do this automatically for the user.
