Hi Wayne,

thank you very much for your efforts. I'm guessing that this is not an easy topic and takes thus more time. 
Hopefully a good solution can be found this way.

Maybe it makes then sense to announce this change on the KiCad homepage, I could also imagine to add a definition of the "audience" - just like on the FreeCad homepage. 

Quote from http://www.freecadweb.org/:

"[..] 
Who is FreeCAD for? A couple of user cases:
The home user/hobbyist. 
Got yourself a project you want to build, have built, or 3D printed? Model it in FreeCAD. No previous CAD experience required. Our community will help you get the hang of it quickly!

The experienced CAD user. 
If you use commercial CAD or BIM modeling software at work, you will find similar tools and workflow among the many workbenches[http://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/?title=Workbenches] of FreeCAD.

Thanks,
Torsten
