Hi Marco,

I'm working together with Michael on this.

Our current plan is to also make a simple -yet functional- open hardware 
design with Kicad (eg. a little USB2UART board or something like that) 
and publish it along with BOM and manufacturing files.

This design will be accompanied by a step-by-step tutorial in Greek on 
how to design this board, with screenshots from the next stable version 
of KiCad under the new translated Greek GUI.

Best,
Dimitris
