This discussion is very prescient. Dan and Julian have been instrumental in helping me beat gerbv into shape over the last two weeks. I plan on releasing a new version with 1 1/2 years of patches applied. I hope to release tomorrow or the next day, depending upon my time availability. Moving forward, we have a lot of good ideas for what to do with gerbv. Also, ideas folks have posted here should go into the gerbv feature request tracker on SF: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=33921&atid=409541 That way we won't forget them. Finally, please keep in mind that submitting patches will go a lot further than submitting feature requests. I can't promise that gerbv will become a beehive of activity, but us developers won't let it get *too* far out of date again. Also, the code is simple enough that newbies might find it an easy vehicle for learning about EDA software. I will put hacking notes into CVS real soon to help others figure out how it works.
