Shortest Path to Latest Freeplane and JabRef Release Updates about docear-desktop HOT 4 OPEN

@xiepenggis Thank you for the update. C# is indeed a very useful skill, since the old Microsoft Word plugin was coded in C#. However, Microsoft seems to switch to JavaScript (JabRef/jabref#6904).

Regarding Docear and JabRef. We cannot use the FeeMind-Code anymore as it is licensed GPL. Thus, we need to rewrite the whole mindmap code. This is currently work in progress (refs koppor/jabref#433). First results should be available mid/end october.

@zenny You are very welcome to join the development team. JabRef is now more modularized and it should be more easy to port Docear's features to it. In case, you are more into web development: Why not starting a new web-based Docear from scratch? -- We played with that two years ago (https://github.com/JabRef/scimappr), but did not continue (due to lack of funding).

Hello @zenny and @koppor ,
I am doing research work in Geographic Information System (GIS) topic. I used Docear for a while and found it is a very useful app. Give thanks to the development team.
I have experience with coding in GIS app with C# and Python, but not Java. I have been trying very hard to get Docear source code work, then I hope to improve it. But the guide documents about Docear I can find are really not enough to support my self-learning progress. Is there anyone who can help me get started with coding Docear?
Thank you very much.
