Hi Richard.
Thank you for your work on improving citation support for org-mode. I
have some experiences from using Zotero, but for the moment I'm using
org-ref[1] to manage my citations.

I think ease of use is very important. Maybe some day we can talk with
Zotero directly from Emacs, but installing a browser extension seems to
be the easiest we can do for now.

Maybe two way sync between BibTeX and Zotero would be sufficient for
power users? I know there is already automatic exporters to BibTex for
Zotero, but some work needs to be done to make it a two-way sync.
I don't mind the GUI for editing the bibliography database, especially
when the Zotero Translators [2] make such a good job for scraping
citation metadata directly from web pages.
I wouldn't like to use the Zotero GUI for bibliography notes. I think
the best feature of org-ref is that the bibliography notes are stored in
an org-mode file, my preferred note-taking tool. Will this be supported
with the new citation processing you are working on?
Best regards,
