I 'll decline this. XULrunner is not present in Jessie and will never be. The project no longer receives any updates in general and is considered defunct. There is little point in us porting the software to Jessie. Unfortunately this means Zotero will not be possible to be ported to Jessie. We 've discussed this extensively in the past and we should be making an effort to port the zotero translators to citoid.

I believe it was decided not to rewrite Zotero core functions in Node
because Zotero is switching to Electron. But that might be several years
out.

Was this actually decided, or was it just left on hold pending further information about the rewrite? In any case, if the rewrite / port timeline is that long term, then we probably want to revisit seriously tackling T93579. Could you follow up there with the latest information?

I guess it wasn't! That was just the impression I got from you lot, so you'd be the authority on that :). I don't really have any latest information, except that 5.0 is now in beta, and there's a 5.1 update planned with some field /data structure changes, still with the old architecture. I don't know what their timeline is beyond that. I'll ask.
