Currently not. Cooperation often do not work very well in open/free hardware design. If I need help in a special area I will ask someone. If the device should really work, maybe some people will join the project and improve the software. > I didn't see a LCD in the schematic. How will the traces be shown?

Symbols are based on tragesym size, I used my own a4 titleblock, which is (nearly) identical in outline size to a4 titleblocks shipped with gEDA/gschem. > There > seems to be no formal master sheet.

Yes, we worked in the same institute, but on other projects in the past. But I left Hamburg Institute for Laser-Physics three years ago -- up to that time they did not use gEDA there (most people there used Eagle).

I will visit its homepage and watch its current status, maybe I should include a link to it in my page.
