Unfortunately, I cannot work fulltime for JabRef as I'm busy with other projects. Nevertheless, I volunteer to take over the lead at least for 2014. I hope, that we attract new committers and that one of them will take over the lead. :) To keep JabRef alive, I plan to migrate to github: Even though sourceforge enables branching and merging, github is much more convenient to use. Therefore, I will migrate nearly everything to github. Igor has already ported all bug reports to github. Thank you for that. The mailinglist will stay at sourceforge as github currently does not offer mailinglist hosting. I am aware that spreading things among different platforms is not a good thing. On the other hand, the user mailing list is used by mostly users and not by developers. I really want to enable PhD students to quickly commit provide a fix without the hazzle sourcefourge creates. In the background, the idea of a rewrite arises. A modern JabRef with a more modern and structured code. Does anyone of the developers have an oppinion about? I'm currently thinking of Eclipse RCP or JavaFX as basis. I have experience in the former. I really like the straight plugin concept, which would really help to keep the fetchers and other "goodies" separated from the main code and maintainable.
