Hi Peter and all,

First of all: best wishes and happy coding for 2009  ;-)

IMO, two issues (read: challenges) still remain:

1) I noticed that some symbols (just a handful) use text entities for
pin labels instead of "pinlabel=" attributes.

I did not keep tags on them, as I was focused on fixing over-bar
lines  ;)

What could/should be done about this ?

Track them down and file a bug report on SF  ??


2) Werner noticed ,and he did made a list :), that there happen to be
symbols living in www.gedasymbols.org that are still using over-bar
lines.

What could/should be done about this ?

Track them down and file a bug report on SF  ??

This is more of a (gEDA) user responsibility (IMHO, content always is)

If my gitified CVS repo of www.gedasymbols.org reads correctly, Werner
already reworked his symbols ;-)


BTW:
I'm thinking of pushing this gitified repo on github.com as to get more
exposure for gEDA, but have not decided yet.

I want to get some opinions first whether this is favorable/allowed, as
github.com shares indexes with google, so maybe (gEDA) users could
google for symbols.

Another advantage is that anyone can fork/clone and modify to their own
liking, and share the results with other co-forkers by a pull request
(github.com messaging system).

Kind regards,

Bert Timmerman.
