It still does not happen /every/ time I insert a Zotero link that the link is expanded with a full biblio description, but it happens most of the time, and for when it doesn't, `C-c z u' seems to work reliably now. (Firefox taxes my old system a bit, and runs with frequent pauses, which may account for my having more trouble communicating with MozRepl than you're seeing. Looking forward to the API.) One more issue I see is with Unicode characters. They are preserved when I command-shift-copy a reference from Zotero into an Org buffer (I have current-language-environment set to UTF-8). Org-zotero-mode does not preserve them. I've had a quick look at the code but haven't pinned it down why not. I may have some more feedback in a week's time when I've cleared my Christmas deadlines, but for now, thanks for this! Yours, Christian
