Hi guys,

It's now time to move to the pretty libraries on Github.

As you may have noticed, Dick has very recently taken ownership of the
library repository on bzr. He has made it read-only and renamed it to "
library-read-only<https://code.launchpad.net/~dickelbeck/kicad/library-read-only>".
The kicad-install.sh should be revised soon by him to make use of the new
stuff.

The old libraries can also be found on Github, in this
repository<https://github.com/KiCad/kicad-library>.
The .mod files have been removed, but if you still need them for some
reason, it's possible to back up to the earlier commit.

The first step you guys can do is register at Github. Then, please send me
your ID so that I can add you to the organization. Miguel and Polivas can
also do it.

When this is done you can start pushing, but keep in mind we have to update
the fp-lib-table located
here<https://github.com/KiCad/kicad-library/tree/master/template> as
well, if need to, to reflect the new changes. Finally, there is some
information on how to use the Copy-On-Write functionality of the Github
plugin in its doxygen documentation.

So that's it for now. I'll be waiting for your Github IDs. Should you have
any questions, please ask, I'll do my best to help.

Carl
