We should have said the "next <em>major</em>" release, which will be version 1.0 (or one of the 1.0 Release Candidates). Currently, the timeline for this is by the end of this year, or at the latest, sometime in January. Hi Matt – sorry to keep you waiting.

This is a critical feature for me, and this states it is coming in the "next" release. What is the timeline for adding synchronization of notes to the Web?

So you can access the Getting Started Guide from the Help menu. It appears that this is just a PDF in: 'Mendeley Desktop.app/Contents/Resources/FAQ.pdf' (on OS X) It would be great for that PDF to be more explicitly linked from your site (including from the release notes). It appears that you may only make your own libraries public (not shared collections). It also appears that the public libraries do not include any PDFs that have been uploaded. Bummer on both counts, but that's not to discount the usefulness of Mendeley overall. It just means that this feature is not tremendously useful for my purposes (but I can imagine it being useful for others). Ahh… ok. So you can access the Getting Started Guide from the Help menu.

In addition, we are currently preparing some teaching materials which should explain in more detail how to do it. Here's a short description: 1. In "My Library" in Mendeley Desktop, create a new collection in the left pane. 2. Click on that collection, and then click on "Edit settings" in the upper right corner of the center (library) pane. 3. Set collection access to "Public", add a description if you like, and click on "Sync" in the tool bar. 4. After sync, in the settings you will see a link (http://www.mendeley.com/collections/ etc.) - this is the link to the public collection. If you drag & drop items in that public collection in Mendeley Desktop, they will appear on the public collection web page (the link) after sync. 5. Click on the link, and the public collection page in the lower left corner you will see the embed code which enables you to embed this document feed / reference list into other web pages.

I recently gave a presentation in my department on using Mendeley for collaborative articles and now I have to update everyone with the new features...sigh. I'm loving the ability to annotate PDFs (but why can't we share those notes?). I have 2 comments based on minor issues I had with the upgrade. I think it'd be a good idea to inform users of changes to the interface. For example, it took me a while to figure out how to edit the settings for uploading documents in specific libraries during syncing. I also don't think Mendeley should default to uploading my whole library...why not keep the previous settings (which were to only upload metadata)? Anyway, thanks for a great piece of software. Can't wait for the next version :) Just wanted to say thanks a lot for this release.
