Re: Contributing footprints

 

Hi Simon,

I prefer the git pull request method. The time it takes for them getting
approved depends on how much free time I have, as I am pretty much alone in
approving them. I will shortly have a look at your other one.

FYI, the procedure is written here
<https://github.com/KiCad/kicad-library/blob/master/How_To_Contribute.txt>.
And please make sure to follow the convention
<https://github.com/KiCad/kicad-library/blob/master/KiCad_Library_Convention.txt>,
as I cannot take the time to refactor every footprint I am sent.

Regards,

Carl
