The beta has had an update - and the expiry is now extended to the 15th June. At least, that's what I have now, for Win and Puppy (Deb) versions. I had signed up for the first round because I was really interested to check out the in-built Zotero bibliography tool integration. I and others have been ...

Hi memo - glad to see you persevered with your install of Zotero. It is one of my "desert island" softwares and I use it across all my computers, in both Puppy and Windows installs. I have been using it since it began as a Firefox extension. I am also disappointed to see the "panic message ...
