Re: [O] org-odt and bibliography

[Torsten Wagner]

There is jabref [1].
A standalone Java application, which uses the bib-format as native 
solution. Thus it could play nicely with org-mode. Since it will still 
remain all in a bib file.

The feature set is already outstanding compared to many other solutions. 
There is a emacs interaction as well to push \cite-keys to emacs.

It also claims to have a Openoffice support
never tried.
