The more of these features are added, the closer it gets to duplicating citeulike.org IMO and
you'd be better off making use of a citeulike group. I haven't used the groups feature much but
there are several haskell/fp related groups on there , e.g. http://www.citeulike.org/group/4254
. I think there are also a great deal more papers etc on there than are represented in groups
(e.g. there are more FP/Haskell papers in my own 'library' than in the group I linked to).
