Hi gEDA,

I'm a part-time developer of kicad and a part-time pcb designer.  My
most recent project has a lot of duplicated circuitry in a three-level
hierarchy, something which kicad does not support very well.  Kicad
allows a hierarchy, but it does not allow different component
references on different instances of the same schematic. e.g. the
hierarchy is something like this
      A
   B    B
C  C  C  C
where each of the different C sheets originates from the same file
etc. on the final board, each C should have a different ref num (C101
etc)

I've spent the last two weeks trying to add this feature, but it is
not easy :(  Does g-EDA already have this feature?  I'll convert my
schematics, if so.  I also like that there is more developer chatter
on the gEDA list as opposed to the kicad list - gives me more
confidence.  Kicad is easier to use, though, and builds on windows...
I wish that we could combine forces :)

thanks a bunch,
Tim
