kicad-developers team mailing list archive

[Rene Pöschl <poeschlr@xxxxxxxxx>]

The kicad library team does not have the resources to properly handle 
even our main tasks (see the number of open pull requests awaiting 
review, hint it is >300 with >600 open over all) let alone handling 
additional docu. Plus we are not working with sourcecode. The skills of 
the librarieans are in checking electrical constrains not git, not 
packaging, ...

Also consider that 90% of changes are additions of new assets which can 
only be documented in a graphical way (screenshots of the asset, 
dimensioned drawings, ...) so really the documentation is in the pull 
requests not in git (git links to the pull requests) again completely 
different to software!

See the kicad library more akin to optional binary assets instead of 
sourcecode (similar example would be the clipart library of a word 
processor)

I did not fully read your previous message so i do not quote it either 
;) (Another thing that is strange to at least me is a mailing list. I 
would be much more conferrable on a forum or even the issue tracker.)
