If this is in git, it would be great to be able to track progress. Could you make a fork of the repo gEDA mirror: http://repo.or.cz/w/geda-gaf.git and push the changes as and when? Can this work be applied as an incremental series of improvements, or is it really a re-write? > I have some useful ideas for > improving gattrib in general, but the progress is really slow (I'm > currently finishing my thesis). So don't expect anything soon. No problem... good luck with it. (I'm terrible..

Nice.

I expect you'll finish your thesis (Masters / PhD?) before any consensus / design is reached ;) -- Peter Clifton Electrical Engineering Division, Engineering Department, University of Cambridge, 9, JJ Thomson Avenue, Cambridge CB3 0FA Tel: +44 (0)7729 980173 - (No signal in the lab!) _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
