If you add yourself to the blog at http://uplib.parc.com/blog/ , you'll automatically be added to the beta list.

This is in addition to the other Zotero note and tagging functions. You can also grab PDF files on the Web and add them to your collection but unfortunately there is no built-in pdf rendering so it does not support text markup as for the HTML pages above. I have a workaround for this where I email the pdf link to my gmail account which then gives me the option to open the pdf as a HTML page. I then add markup as for any other Web page. A little long winded but it works if I really need to study a pdf file.
