JSBML: Beginners Guide / educational videos

[tmHamm]

Background

JSBML is a Java library for reading, manipulating and writing SBML files. SBML (Systems Biology Markup Language) is a representation format for computational models of biological processes.

Among other documentation, there is a user guide available for JSBML. A new Beginners Guide is currently under development. It describes basic operations with JSBML and is intended to be simple and understandable for beginners.

Goals

• polish the existing parts of the new Beginners Guide
• extend the new Beginners Guide
• create educational videos that cover the content of the Beginners Guide

Technical Skills

Some knowledge about Eclipse and Java (“nice to have”). Knowledge of how to create educational videos (“essential”).

Sir
I am Siba Smarak Panigrahi, a second-year undergraduate student of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, India.
I would like to contribute to this issue under GSoD 2020.
I have familiarity with both Java and Eclipse and I am highly enthusiastic to contribute to this project. I have gone through the links provided under the issue quickly, to obtain a brief overview, but it would be a great help if you could guide me on how to start while delving into the details of the issue.
I have written an email also. Waiting eagerly for an early response!

Hello, could you resend an email to jsbml-team@googlegroups.com as the emails addresses on the issue are outdated and I cannot edit it at the moment. Then we can go from there.
Thanks,
Nico
