Zotero (a citation managment former for firefox/XUL only) now gets a standalone variant called "Zotero Everywhere". At the moment it is alpha, but an ebuild as soon as it achieves beta would be nice.

It is unfortunate that the Openoffice.org integration with firefox requires proprietary Java for versions of firefox >=3.6
Now, the official version is out --- Zotero standalone 3.0 It would be very useful if there is an ebuild for this.
Created attachment 416212 [details] Zotero ebuild This is a local ebuild I wrote to install Zotero standalone on my laptop. Zotero will start from cli however it doesn't have menu or icons sections in the script as I as yet don't understand how to do this. I will look at this in the coming weeks.

Created attachment 489102 [details] zotero-5.0.11.ebuild Zotero 5.0 is out.
Created attachment 504276 [details] zotero-5.0.25.ebuild New version.
Zotero officially announced to discontinue it's browser based version due to new security restrictions in the firefox plugin system. To be able to continuously use existing databases it will be important to be able to run the stand alone application.

Created attachment 505804 [details] zotero-5.0.28.ebuild Yes, now there is only one (i.e. standalone version). It would be nice to get it into portage.
Here are the "build" instructions of Zotero: https://www.zotero.org/support/dev/client_coding/building_the_standalone_client This includes loading a firefox from somewhere and a modified prebuilt poppler. It seems, that the standalone version of Zotero is an old Firefox together with Zotero as addon.
Created attachment 523720 [details] zotero-bin-5.0.37.ebuild This is based on the other ebuild.
@gerion This is the right way to do it! It should have bean zotero-bin since the start, and hopefully we will make an ebuild to compile zotero. Thanks for the contribution.
@gerion Thank you very much for the ebuild! I cleaned it up a bit to make repoman happy and put it into my private overlay. https://github.com/krivenko/gentoo-overlay/blob/master/sci-misc/zotero-bin/ Building Zotero Anywhere from the sources seems to be a formidable task, because it is written in Node.js, and has lots of dependencies. One would have to write an elaborate ebuild similar to that of app-editors/atom.
