I'll also plug the new gEDA Wiki here. Following up this posting on geda-user, I created a quick bit of text about PCB footprints here: http://geda.seul.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=geda:pcb_tips I recommend concerned gEDA users to get a Wiki acct through Ales, and then add to the Wiki. Working together on the Wiki, we can quickly create an extensive set of documentation for the gEDA Suite. Stuart
