There is a newlib document (not a complete gPCB manual) here: http://www.brorson.com/gEDA/ The document source (OOO .sxw format) is available from there, as well as .pdf. If somebody is interested in making a contribution to the gEDA project, a quickie project is to take the .sxw version of the doc, do some fact checking, and perhaps add some material we may have missed. I eagerly await patches to the doc. Stuart
