I would even join in on the fun. See http://github.com/bert/gschem-symbols This way *every* symbol in the repository can be corrected (improved), or broken by other users (use "git blame" here), and all symbols can be thrown into one directory to avoid name clashes. I would recommend users to keep a crontab job running to git pull or (git fetch) every day or so, to keep up to date. Maybe similar repositories for "pcb-footprints", "tools", "spice-models", and whatnot. Just my EUR 0.02 on the matter. BTW: the blog stuff for symbols should be in the commit message :) or on the geda-user mailing list if the content is on topic. If one thinks he/she has something to share, share it with the whole list or put it into a repository.

It started as just symbols, then symbols and footprints, then symbols, footprints, and tools, now symbols, footprints, tools, and plugins... I think, now, *any* user-contributed "things" that go into geda-built designs, or get added to geda tools, are acceptable. It's a useful dichotomy - gpleda hosts "official" stuff, gedasymbols hosts "unofficial" stuff. So a official spice lib - gpleda. User-contributed spice models - gedasymbols. Sound reasonable? I probably should figure out how to migrate to git, though, or something more modern than cvs. ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user

Re: gEDA-user: Library of gnucap and ngspice compatible models?
I favor gpleda. spice files aren't really symbols and adding them to gedasymbols would confuse that website's purpose. But gpleda is a multipurpose website and our spice library would fit nicely there. -Alan On Mon, Sep 21, 2009 at 5:18 PM, Kai-Martin Knaak wrote: > On Mon, 21 Sep 2009 12:18:41 +0200, Werner Hoch wrote: > >>> How about gedasymbols.org? >> >> I think gedasymbols is not the right place.
