Hi,
On the beginning I want to take care on the footprint libs:
Capacitors_SMD.pretty
Resistor_SMD.pretty
Diodes_SMD.pretty


But i see a loot of inconsistency in footprints groups.
Perhaps we should reduce .pretty groups count and naming convention.
eg. why we have Transistors_TO-220.pretty and Housing_TO-92. There should
be Housing_TO-220. This is important to see all this housings close to each
other.

The same situation is with the names Sockets_*,  Terminal_Blocks and even
with Pin arrays. I suggest to change in all prefix to Connectors_

Regards,
Paweł
