That's a good project. We need it to help people get in. Don't worry if your idea doesn't exactly match a request. We don't expect it to match exactly. Another need (hint to someone else) is for translators. More important, the translator system. There are several translator projects listed. The biggest need is a system that addresses it all. I think the best starting point is to make a driver for gnucap language plugins, then extend it to gschem, pcb, gerber, etc. Eventually we can have import and export for foreign formats. The translators need to make perfect translations that do not require further editing. It is ok to need to get models from elsewhere, but it should not be necessary to do other editing or processing. We need the translators more than the GUI. You lose the benefit of the GUI if the translation between tools isn't good. _______________________________________________ geda-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-dev
