Zotero 5 for Arm Processors
Thank you for a magnificent project.
Are there any plans for building a distribution for Linux for ARM processors? This will become increasingly relevant now that the Raspberry Pi 4 is a reasonable desktop alternative, in addition to the various ARM Chromebooks.
What would be involved in developing this? My coding skills are not sufficient to do this myself but if there is any way that an amateur coder could help to get this done I'd like to help.

I found the build instructions @ https://www.zotero.org/support/dev/client_coding/building_the_standalone_client
Could someone confirm that these instructions are up to date? I see the requirement for xulrunner so I'm wondering (I thought mozilla deprecated xul).
I'd also love to know if anyone else has had this work before I clutter up this system with build artifacts.

Another, Zotero team seem to use electron framework instead of Firefox, which may directly enable Zotero run at ARM machine.
Those computers would be an absolute hit, as they would likely be much cheaper – or, alternatively, much more powerful – and with better power consumption than the current Intel models. Expect those users to ask for an ARM version soon after.
