Given these complexities, it seems that if we went the zotero route we
could end up with a fairly large installation chain (firefox, zotero,
zotxt, plugin for zotero). And this would require installing items from
multiple, heterogeneous sources.

I wonder at this point whether pandoc-citeproc (packaged with pandoc)
would actually be the simpler route. It can parse bibtex files directly
and (as a filter within pandoc) can output formatted citations in org
format.

As a GNU/Linux user, I would find installing zotero and all the add-ons
messier and more cumbersome than installing pandoc and/or node-js (were
we to use citeproc-js) from the command line.

Best,
Matt
