I agree that a "senior" profile who had cut his/her teeth on complex ***business-related*** projects knows many aspects of most of... more... - Salvatore Larosa

Thanks for the comments, everyone. It's nice to get some feedback. I've been reading comments about this around the interwebs...maybe I should have said 'competencies' instead of 'core competencies.' You don't need to be expert or specialize in everything, but you should probably have some exposure to all of them. That's what I was trying to get at in the first use case...you can rate yourself against all of them, see where you are strong and weak, and figure out how to get better. - Fitzgerald Steele

When a service switches to a certain user, it is running as SYSTEM impersonating the user account. During impersonation, the user's password is not available and so non-public network shares are not available. For more information, see http://cygwin.com/cygwin-.... Workarounds include using public network share that does not require authentication (for non-critical files), providing your password to a net use command, or running the service as your own user with cygrunsrv -u (see /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/cygrunsrv.README for more information). - Fitzgerald Steele

Hi Matt, we don't have a *public* API yet, but we're planning to introduce one. We'll also enable reference management/sharing my simply pasting some code into your side, much like embedding a YouTube video. Apologies if that info doesn't help you much for now! - Victor / Mendeley Team

References in Zotero 2.0b5 beta can be stored in Zotero's cloud servers and/or on your hard drive: http://bit.ly/N5nxp Bibliographic data can be accessed via Zotero data API or with an external SQLite client.
