Hi,

I'm using a Zotero collection for keeping track of several references I
have found for my article about the experience of the outline/tree-like
metaphor for writing inside Pharo (as soon as I have a presentable
working draft I hope to share it with you).

Now I want to make a post-processing of the bibtex file exported from
Zotero. The idea is to use "shorttitle" field instead to replace the
Zotero auto-generated one and have custom keys. So for example instead of:

=======
@misc{_holistic_????,
        title = {Holistic software assessment (Uni Zurich - 2011) on Vimeo},
        shorttitle = {Girba-holistic-2011},
        url = {http://vimeo.com/42073344?from=outro-local},
        urldate = {2014-08-19},
        note = {00000}
}

=======


I would like to have:


=======

@misc{Girba-holistic-2011,
        title = {Holistic software assessment (Uni Zurich - 2011) on Vimeo},
        shorttitle = {Girba-holistic-2011},
        url = {http://vimeo.com/42073344?from=outro-local},
        urldate = {2014-08-19},
        note = {00000}
}

=======


I have already installed Citizen and open it on the browser to see the
code, but I can find any place to start with examples.

Any advice on how to solve this issue will be appreciated.

Cheers,

Offray
