[Felix Morgner <felix.morgner@xxxxxxxxx>]

So here I am saying hi! I would really love to help with reorganizing
and reworking the library. I yet have to check out the work that has
been done on the kicad/newlib project.

But anyway, i think first of all we need to dfine clear guidlines and
rules for symbols. I think collecting all ideas people have on this
topic, even if they don't seem realated in the first place. Maybe we
should do am Blueprint on this.
