note-taking and PDF annotation: jarnal

[Jan Beyer <jan@beathovn.de>]

Hi debian-science,

I just stumbled upon jarnal [1], a free Java program to take notes using a
stylus or mouse or keyboard with the additional ability to make annotations
and markings in PDF-files. It's exactly what I was looking for for a long
time. In case, somebody wants to reduce the amount of printed out scientific
papers just to be able to make some annotations, that's probably one
interesting thing to check out! ;-)

There is also a .deb on the homepage which installs and works fine, but
there are no sources to it. So I cannot judge the packaging quality. I
didn't try to contact the maintainer yet, as I don't have the time for it
ATM. If anybody is interested, please go ahead!
I think, it would be an interesting addition to Debian...

Best Regards,
Jan
