I think it would be very fine to have something like gedasymbols for schematics and layouts. Some people wrote in the past, that they use revision control systems for gEDA. Some central place, where one can upload the data would have multiple benefits: No need to setup such a system for every single user locally, safety of data when local harddisk crash, and possibility to share data with other people. I think the biggest problem of this idea is the protection against criminal people who upload illegal data. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
