Would it be fair to summarise that as "release early, release often"? To be honest, this has been bugging me a bit as well. Perhaps less because I'm not a hardware engineer, but still. We have Timothy, Howard and Andy doing great work on the hardware side, but they are overextended. And they remain overextended because nobody can help, because the development process is so closed, because they are overextended. Of course, I'm far from an expert on the hardware design process, so maybe I'm way off the mark here, but if that's the problem then we need some way to break this loop. I have a feeling that this is related to tool support as well. We need interchange formats and tools that'll read them for schematics if people are to cooperate effectively. From what I've seen gEDA seems to be the number one candidate, but I'm not sure whether there are potential problems there and whether it's up to the job. Lourens
