Hello Jonathan

This is the same reason i wrote the stuff
(AdditionalKiCAD-Docu_06Aug2010.zip) you find at the attachment. :-)
The first i needed working with KiCAD was an EN60617 library. So i had
to make them. And so i had to work with the library editor.
Because the lack of documentation, i collected my notices...and so on.

Of course, yes. But be aware, that your work often will get obsolete,
because of the fast progress in developing. 


> With regard to copyright, do you have any opinion?  

So far i can see, it seems right.in matters of paedagocical issues i
cannot say anything, because i am prone to think a little bit like a
freak.

I put my writings either under GNU GPL or creative commons.

I just downloaded the PDF. It looks like a good start. This is a 
not-well-documented feature of KiCAD, so your tutorial is much needed.



Make sure to add the method for creating bus lines that are auto-numbered. This 
is the primary reason I use sub-sheets. Gotta make sure to use the ".." - no 
more and no less dots... :-)
