  • Hi everyone, this sounds great. How about a town hall with Frank B.? I've been in touch with him over the last few months and maybe we can just all meet and come up with a plan @hsiangyu_wong @abigailburman
  • I spoke to the developer recently; he seems committed to keeping Juris-M alive but he is a bit strained. I think if there is interest in trying to support Juris-M long term we can definitely think about ways to support the cause.
  • Just another thing to note re: Juris-M/multilingual support's importance: United Nations Food and Agriculture Association multilingual database is completely dependent on J-M/Zotero. A bunch of us are currently in discussion to see how we can stra…
  • okay! Well, I have my quest. I will have to find such a developer...
  • so the plugin/fork would both require long-term maintenance, but I assume Frank must have chosen to do a fork over a plugin for some set of technical reasons. Is there an advantage to making it a plugin? Easier to work with in the long term? or not?
  • that makes a lot of sense. at any rate, without a developer it's unlikely anyone would be willing to fund such a grant. But I guess I'll just leave this point up here; if there's someone out in the void who would be interested in/capable of this u…
  • so maybe we can try to concretize this more: @dstillman when you say "we" do you mean the Zotero team? unfortunately, I'm not personally equipped to do this kind of work, but it is possible for me to try to scrounge up the necessary resources to mak…
  • yes Juris-M still works for me, but what spurred me to post about this was the recent move to Zotero 6 and the concern with backwards compatibility, since Juris-M relies on Zotero to sync. We can't assume that as Zotero versions keep emerging that t…
  • as for development priority-- what determines what becomes a development priority? how much money are we talking? This is exploratory of course, but given the advantages of Zotero, I'm thinking it might really be worth some institutional investment.…
  • So i don't know how Juris-M works under the hood, but so far the separate citation styles work fairly easily for Juris-M; I've been able to use Open CSL to create citations for it. From what I can tell, Juris M creates "extra" fields (all listed in…
  • Also PS: I notice that somewhere else in the comments it is said [Juris-M] is no longer being updated and Zotero 5 and 6 databases will no longer sync at some point. this is very worrying!
  • Does this function still work?
