Hi Jean Pierre,

first of all, forgive me for the noise about something that is not 
considered as a bug :(

IMHO the most needed feature in Kicad now is *improved usability*, and 
so that will go to that list. By this I mean that Kicad has ALL needed 
complex features, but the user interface is many times confusing. Some 
improvements have been made in the latest version ;)

I hope to have more spare time in the median future, maybe I will 
volunteer...

Thanks for the grat work so far,
Alain
PS: the only complex feature missing is undo in pcbnew...
