Wikipedia on f1000 workspace:

That sounds like it's at least focusing on medicine as a field (and generally fields in which Word documents are an acceptable means of dissemination...)

Regarding open source: Being open source is certainly not core to the functionality of a reference manager. But it does protect you from exactly the kind of behaviour shown by Mendeley here. So recommending a "solution" for the situation that has exactly the same drawback as the Mendeley (i.e. vendor lock-in) is short-sighted in the extreme.
