My mistake, I think I linked to the library. This should be it:
https://www.zotero.org/magicfab/items/collectionKey/WHBXSUDV/itemKey/4IVTIVTT

I suppose so, like any set of credentials. Why would you do that? What
problem do you want to address by sharing an account?

The lists/articles/groups are public on the website.

website pages ... I am just wondering how it would look with the
different categories. Could you put in fake articles in each category to
see what the feed would look like?

It's all available via RSS feeds. This would be the corresponding feed
for my LibreOffice articles:
https://api.zotero.org/users/986243/collections/WHBXSUDV/items/top

Several feeds could then be aggregated into a planet/other front ends.

this is what you had suggested in your last post)

I am discovering Zotero, it's not a "zero learning curve" experience but
it's easy enough given the possible uses. I am thinking everytime I
visit a bookstore and I see a LibreOffice magazine article or book I can
quickly add its reference for example. Then having a very precise book
list, from different countries/languages would be easy. I am using these
mobile applications:

> * can the list be backed up locally on a hardrive?

Yes, you can save all your data locally only or sync it to Zotero's
servers. You can sync your attachments to Zotero's servers (and pay more
for more space) or to your own Webdav server (only limited by your
setup), and you can export all the data in several formats for
local/remote backups.

account with storage space in exchange for highlighting their name on
the webpage where the list would be kept on our site.

I don't see the need for a particular arrangement knowing the space is
not a primary concern, and knowing the rather limited initial audience
for this. "The list" wouldn't be only one as this could generate several
categories and references ("news articles","books", etc.). But that's my
limited impression for now, I tend to focus on the raw data.
