Hello Tonny!

Vesa Solonen is curently working on guidelines for library/modules.

>From my side I am working on a tool that would allow:
- moving components between libraries using drag&drop,
- renaming components and libraries in a easy way,
- downloading requested components from central server,
- uploading them from your computer to kicad librarian email box.

The problem is I have to do four projects to my university and it may take me some time.

As a user, I found out that the weakest point of kicad is itslibrary and module (in term of quality, not quantity). I think we need to define some guildline for library/module creator (just like coding style inC++). I have searched the messages in group and found this discussion is very interesting and just exactly what i want.
