Re: official web page

 

Hi Marco,

it would be possible to get the HackRF kicad pcb file updated with the 3d models names?

Thank you
Maurice

Hi,
see attached some screenshots of 3D Viewer showing the HackRF board, it
could replace this one in kicad-pcb.org
http://www.kicad-pcb.org/display/KICAD/KiCad+EDA+Software+Suite?preview=/589828/1376287/kicad_3dviewer.png

Who should I ask to upload it?

The other screenshots could be updated too, they look ancient.

Regards


Marcos

I have collected some of the new nice additions, likely not all.

I would also be nice if we had an announcement about the new stable
release with a list of new features such as 64 layers, openGL rendering,
P&S routing, etc.

Yes, it would be nice to have the website updated.
Kicad could have a lot of media coverage given the vast improvements
over the last release and we will need (besides bugfixing) some
appealing screenshots and videos.

If I can I'll prepare screenshots from hackrf, ubertooth, etc for you
guys to review.

Best regards

     Can we possibly get this done before the stable release which
hopefully
     will be some time near the end of July?  It would be nice to roll
this
     out around the same time.

     Thanks,

     Wayne
