[Dick Hollenbeck <dick@...>]

Hello Tony,

Thank you for introducing yourself. Many folks simply use their cryptic 
email nicknames and we end up treating them like a computer variable.

You are Tony, that is nice to know.


These discussions usually lead nowhere until you have a qualified 
developer in hand with about a man-month to actually do the coding.


I would start there. Only then does finalizing a design make most 
sense. Otherwise it will end up being a wish list that gets forgotten 
in 30 days.

I don't think we want to make this email list into a "wishlist graveyard".

So recruit first, then design, then code. That is my suggestion.


Dick

> My name is Tony. I'm new to this devel group.But I have been using kicad for months. As a user, I found out that the weakest point of kicad is its library and module (in term of quality, not quantity). I think we need to define some guildline for library/module creator (just like coding style in C++). I have searched the messages in group and found this discussion is very interesting and just exactly what i want.
