To clarify, it sounds like Ethan is taking on some of the API definitions that will be necessary for implementing placement of symbols through API plugins, so Anthony it is probably a good idea for you to work in another area to avoid duplicating effort. There are a number of not-yet-implemented objects on the PCB side (groups, for example) that would maybe be a better starting point if you're interested in contributing to the API.
