Thanks for the suggestion.

Do you know if it exports the collection's (pdf) files too or just a
.bib file?

The front page says it can "synchronize BibTex file and Zotero
collection" so can you really edit the .bib file and write the changes
back to Zotero, from emacs?

The way I use it now, I can't really imagine how that might be useful, I
think Zotero is best as a 'capture' tool, no doubt if such a thing
existed I would probably find it indispensable.
