Wayne,

Good luck with the consulting, hopefully it pays better that working on 
Kicad.

The extra detail in the document is harmless, and probably serves C++ 
and why and how it should be used over C in an application like Kicad.

It also speaks consistently about style with respect to the style 
embedded in uncrustify.cfg file.


Thanks for at least letting us know you are un-volunteering on it. We 
will not wait for you now.

Mostly we need someone that:

1) knows C++,
2) knows OpenOffice Writer,
3) knows English well


to step up. They are listed in order of importance, with 3) being the 
most important. The result could be a *.odt file that we occasionally 
export to *.pdf and put on the wiki. It is now about a 15 page document 
if I recall, and it needs some formatting mostly. It was imported from 
WordPerfect and not so nicely at that, and seriously modified since then.


Thanks,


Dick
