A couple of thoughts on that... Gedasymbols is primarily a contributor place, not a replacement for the shipped libraries. Symbols which have proven themselves, and are popular, should be migrated from gedasymbols to the official libraries.
I'm trying to make it as easy as possible for people to contribute symbols and footprints. Thus, adding more restrictions on how things are contributed goes against my purposes. There's overlap between contributors; how would I pick which ones to use? The current system (to each their own) doesn't require any work on my part, and scales well. Trying to organize the whole thing would not be trivial. Such efforts are better spent on the official libraries. Combining them that way would lose attribution, unless I modified the files somehow to include it. We really want feedback to go to the authors, so they can track the quality of their contributions. Such history is useful when trying to merge them into official libraries. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
