> each chip to blink a led is the extreme.

It may be extreme, but, you will be able to build a blink a led
circuit in a matter of minutes for any pic. We do not need to focus on
this however. Whenever someone wants to contribute a blink a led
schematic, they may, and the same goes for other schematics.

Nobody is forced into using anything, you can continue to use your fav
program. However, the only circuit schematics that would be included
in the pack are those that use an open source software of our
choosing.

At least this will give an option for people to contribute to
schematic drawings.

For those who want to continue using there other software, they will
be able to open the file in the open source software and manually copy
it to there software without having to design it from scratch.

PDF schematic files are not clear, it is very hard to read pin names &
lettering. I was looking at the Jaluino PDF, I cannot read pin names,
therefore I cannot build circuit. I need to read the ICSP port pins
since my programmer has these pins in a different order.

If there is a jallib standard for scematics, updating them would be
easy and will help keep the book up to date. Tutorials are also a must
and should be written in a document language of jallib’s choice

All schematics can have an example in the schematic program, all
tutorials can be written in a document software (one tutorial for each
project type). Then schematics and tuturials of our choosing can be
compiled together in the book & on the website each week and every
time a new jallib is released. They can be organized in the book by
difficulty level. We can have a BOOK_TORELEASE file.

Currently we have no way of contributing to the book. Or do we?

Open source software outputs netlists, netlists can be opened by any
layout software for making PCB’s. I don’t see any need for choosing a
PCB software as PCB layouts are not used as often as schematics.
