I'm trying to switch to using org for most of my writing; among other
things, I now use it for posting to wordpress and (hopefully soon) drupal,
where most of my teaching work takes place. So I htink there's a case to
make for org as a person's main workspace.

Wouldn't the rigt target be, not the sqlite db, but the Zoteor *service*
that runs on port 50001 when Zotero is running? Aren't there some
higher-level tools for working through that interface -- e.g., erik, your
rst tool uses a python library, does it talk to Zotero that way?

so, couldn't one think of the problem as having three parts:
(1) get emacs to talk to the zotero server; and
(2) figure out how org/emacs should interact with citeproc
(3) translate the org zotero links into a syntax that LibreOffice
recognizes and can successfully manipulate
and am I further right that, as an interim measure, solving (1) and (3)
properly and throwing together a quick hack for (2) -- in which org
supports exactly one, very simple citation style -- would make a workflow
possible in which a person could compose in Org, and translate to ODT for
the final processing of a document, and/or export to HTML using only the
one citaqtion style that is supported by the aforementioned hack?
thanks again for all the help, folks,
matt
