The reason I ask this is because I have intentionally not
introduced any sort of directory layout or project file or arbitrary
arragement of files when dealing with "designs". Back in the beginning
there were many discussions on what exactly constitutes a "design" and
nobody could really agree. Based on that lack of agreement, I decided
that I wouldn't impose any sort of organization on people's designs and
they can decide for themselves how they want their schematics/symbols/etc
organized.
However, I'm not opposed to a project file, in fact, the geda
program (gmanager/geda whatever) has a project file. I'm thinking that I
might spend some time at the code sprint looking at the geda and seeing
what to do with it. I'm certainly not suggesting that the geda project
file be used for pcb-mode, but I want to be careful that we don't end
up with N different project files.
