Zotero 2.0 - Zotero Server
* shared collections and notes
* scholarly groups in macro- and micro- disciplines, official groups
* recommendations
* bibliographic feeds
* APIs

Q: Where is the server
A: One server, at Zotero (Center for Media), closed source

Q (me, paraphrased): Will there be server API usage limitations?  We might like to send queries to retrieve recommendations every time someone does a search, that could be a lot of traffic.
A: TBD... it will be mostly constrained by server performance and capacity
