Hi everyone. In the past, several community members have worked to enable Citoid on their wiki < https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Citoid/Enabling_Citoid_on_your_wiki> and to get an easier referencing experience in the visual editor. In order to create references from websites, Citoid heavily relies on peculiar code, a.k.a. Zotero "translators" < https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zotero>gt;; because of this, and because we want to complement existing documentation about how to write them, we have gladly accepted the offer of Sebastian Karcher, one of Zotero's main contributors <http://www.sebastiankarcher.com/?page_id=33>, to host a dedicated Tech Talk later this month. Find all the details below. Huge thanks to User:Czar and Rachel F. for making this happen. Please spread the word among your communities!
