Still open.. The nearest thing we have to a project manager right now is "xgsch2pcb". It was intended to be a proof of concept workflow backend for a more general project manager, and contains code for a gschem -> PCB workflow - including live updating of a PCB design via D-Bus. > As I stated before, I don't know how much I would be able to > contribute until the summer due to my current work load but if I was > seriously considered I think it would give me more reason to try and > find that extra *time*.

I'm glad you said PyGTK. (That is what we used for rapid prototyping xgsch2pcb, and I think it suits the project manager task quite neatly). I've volunteered to act as a mentor this year, and if you ended up working on any xgsch2pcb code (or were to take parts of it to use in a more general work-flow tool), then I would indeed be interested to work with you on this project. -- Peter Clifton Electrical Engineering Division, Engineering Department, University of Cambridge, 9, JJ Thomson Avenue, Cambridge CB3 0FA Tel: +44 (0)7729 980173 - (No signal in the lab!) _______________________________________________ geda-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-dev
