[Diego Herranz <diegoherranz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Random comments for a few of the topics discussed or proposed:

- "Format" -> "Coordinate Format": The Gerber standard
<https://www.ucamco.com/files/downloads/file/81/the_gerber_file_format_specification.pdf>
uses
Coordinate format for this, so I think this change is OK.

- "solder mask" vs "solder stop mask": I'm European and I've never used (or
heard used) "solder stop mask". Always solder mask or I've also used resist
or solder resist. But I think solder mask is the most common.

- "Save Messages to File": +1

- "Default line width" -> "Line width": please don't. The former is more
descriptive and correct in my opinion.

Thanks,

Diego
