[Fabrizio Tappero <fabrizio.tappero@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Kostantin,

It is my opinion that this is the KiCad developer mailing list and we
are all here to make stuff for the community and not only for ourself.

The process is quite easy. You and I can try to work together and find
a proposal and do some work. Once we are done we propose it to the
community and they will accept it, refuse it or accept after some
further modifications. The aim is not to impose your own ideas but
instead implement what lots of skilful people behind KiCad reckon is
best to do. There is really nothing difficult about it.

If you think you can work in this collaborative way let's go ahead if
you do not think you can let us not go ahead. Please, let's stop
bugging the mailing list and let's start communicate and work within
the two of us.

I am positive that some/many of your icons can contribute to the
current kicad version.

Regards
Fabrizio
