Zotero 1.5 Beta: Introducing server sync - July 2008
With the release of Zotero 1.5 Beta, users gained the ability to sync their individual collections with the Zotero Server.

Zotero 2.0 Beta offers users the ability to share collections with others through the Zotero Server. Users can create collaborative groups and share notes along with their bibliographic metadata. Data is available at different access levels (e.g. read-only).
