Part of the reason may be seen on youtube. Yesterday, I was surprised to see a number of geda/PCB tutorials there. I watched only a few. All of them made schematic capture look difficult and an enduring task. It was not that the commentator directly sad so, but because there were so many steps involved before a result was visible. There were major misconceptions, too. E.g., one author insists, you have to be root to change symbols in the lib... Looks like, the lesson to be learned here is: Us power users should engage and write better tutorials and make them visible. Upload videos on youtube blog about it, write articles in Make Magazine, etc. ---<)kaimartin(>--- -- Kai-Martin Knaak Email: k...@familieknaak.de http://pool.sks-keyservers.net:11371/pks/lookup?search=0x6C0B9F53 increasingly unhappy with moderation of geda-user _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
