Hi all,

In my recent endeavours to teach myself to create hobbyist PCB's, I've
landed on KiCAD as my weapon of choice (open source, mature, actively
developed). I found the learning curve quite steep though (the
Contextual Electronics youtube tutorial as well as the recent Hackaday
tutorial were indispensable aides *), and I keep coming across things
that could be improved.

I'm hoping to be able to contribute to the development of KiCAD with
an initial interest in improving the usability and make it easier for
new users to get started. I'll try to fix a few of the starter bugs
while getting to know the code base and we'll see how it goes :)
