We could also divide up into multiple types of "first" users: first electronics newbie, first gschem 2 pcb board for the CAD experienced... A board more interesting, but still popular would be the usual stuff on the edge of a microcontroller prototyping board -- power jack, regulator circuit, terminal blocks, test points, LEDs for rudimentary display, all in modular schematic/layout chunks. They might even get used...in a "next board" Getting the layout chunks merged would be a good exercise for writing up howtos for gsch2pcb method. It's tricky to get gsch2pcb to accept merged layout chunks without erasing footprints because of wrong refdes.
