Dear Dick,

That name is my internet alias. You can call me Tony. :)
And yes, i understand. Allow all people to access the repo is disaster. I would like to help this project that why i join the mailing list. My last activity was gathering ideas of how can make we improvement to the library system by changing its structure. I finally found out that it was too ambitious. Now, I've changed my direction by concentrating at the library's quality.As i (and many) always say, the weakest point of kicad is its library standard. It has been months and there's not much changed while the main programs are much improved and are really good now (I really like the latest svn). I would like to help and been waiting for library standard from core developers. Is there defined standard yet?
