I may be joining too late but having some ideas. First of all let me just say that I'm in love with this concept. I consider GitHub to be the most robust and fertile software ecosystem of our days. Leveraging it could be hugely productive as opposed to invent a whole new platform. (I have no

On a somewhat related note I'm wondering why KiCad isn't hosted on GitHub. Given the popularity of GitHub it could give the project better visibility and let's not even speak about the ultimate joy of how easy it is to merge pull requests. I find the github site easier to use than the

To me it's really not a question of which VCS is the better (I know next to nothing about Bazaar and although git is more popular the two seem largely similar to me - one can read a ton about the issue at https://www.google.com/search?q=bazaar+vs+git ) What rather matters is the huge added value

IMHO, RoR can be used to develop web apps faster (not faster web apps..), and has a wider community and library support, also has libraries to inteface ruby-python and make use of the kicad scripting wrappers. But that's just my opinion. Probably, if we get there at any time, it could make sense

I'm thinking too, I really *love* the idea, and I'm sure that building on the simple idea -later, with time- we can do even more. But a simple github connector it's a great start. I have a piece of code that I put together some time ago (over a single weekend), to make a kicad-service website,
