Meta: Saving/citing LWN.net articles in Zotero

Parent article: A look at the Zotero reference management tool

Coincidentally, I recently wrote a Zotero "translator" for LWN.net that scrapes the correct article metadata (title, author, date, type) and also saves, next to a website snapshot, the novel EPUB attachment into Zotero. Just with a single click on the browser add-on, I learned to love it.
This even became my workflow for reading LWN: saving the article into Zotero and reading/highlighting the attached EPUB. Plus I have it in my bibliography with all the correct metadata and can cite it right away.

The translator can be found here: https://github.com/hollmann-sra/zotero-lwn
I also plan to upstream this into the default Zotero translator repository, so it is available to everyone using the Zotero browser plugin by default.
