Zotero to Org-mode Import Tool Project
Goal:* To develop a "makeshift" tool for importing a Zotero library into Org-mode, with key functionalities:
- Academic Papers:* Accurately track and link to attached academic papers.
- Web Bookmarks:* Create web snapshots of imported web bookmarks for persistence and future reference.
Initial Scope:*
- Understanding Zotero's data export formats (e.g., BibTeX, JSON, RIS).
- Determining the optimal way to represent Zotero items (publications, notes, web pages) within Org-mode.
- Designing a mechanism to locate and link to attached PDF/other files from Org-mode entries.
- Identifying tools or methods for creating persistent web snapshots (e.g., using a web archiving service, local archiving).
Information Needed from Amr:*
- Preferred Zotero export format for data import.
- Desired Org-mode structure for imported Zotero entries.
- How you envision the links to academic papers working within Org-mode (e.g., direct file link, Zotero URI).
- Any specific web archiving tools or methods you have in mind for the web snapshots.
- Whether this tool should be Emacs Lisp-based, Python, or another language.
Next Steps:*
- Gather Amr's requirements for Zotero data handling and Org-mode output.
- Research Zotero API/export capabilities and web archiving strategies.
- Propose a high-level design for the import tool.
