Aren't you a python jockey? Maybe offer to be Dileep's mentor, and see if he will accept your help in working on milestone C). He actually needs someone to do that for his university work, might require a signature at the end. Practically, he will need some help, so if you have the experience, I think he should accept a generous offer from you to help. As I said, I would join your team around the completion of milestone B). Tucking in some C++ magic under your wxPython work, into the top of the KIWAYs, plural. We need a *multi-project* interface, one that shows all open projects as different from closed projects, and symbolic buttons or panel-lettes which show the open KIFACE tools, such as pcbnew or eeschema, or future. It needs to be able to launch pcbnew or eeschema on any project, and classify it as open thereafter in the GUI. (Isolate the launching code, it will get replaced later with a Kiway interface. Simply chain load kicad and pcbnew exes for now.) After KIWAY inclusion, we can then add a "bring to top" function. We need a place to hook in an ever expanding set of utilities, conversion scripts, and project front ends, gateways to other EDA tools, etc. This will give the stature from which to add more SWIG interfaces in the DLL/DSOs below. Anything else you can think of.
