Re: [Kicad-developers] Geographical reannotation complete and avaiable for test
Seth Thanks! I will start working on the mysteries of a merge request shortly. I want to make sure I have all my ducks in a row so I don't waste anybody's time. This is the first time I have collaborated on a software project of any kind, let alone a big one like Kicad.

The source code is at https://gitlab.com/BrianAtDocumentedDesigns/kicad/commits/reannotate Thanks Brian Hi Brian- This sounds like great news. If you create a MR on GitLab we will better be able to look it over. You can prefix it with "WIP:" to mark it work in progress. -Seth Seth Hillbrand KiCad Services Corporation https://www.kipro-pcb.com +1 530 302 5483 | +1 212 603 9372 ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : kicad-developers@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
