	I use gEDA for hobby projects as well. As for the project completeness,
I could imagine several minor enhancements, though:

It would be helpful to be able to denote attributes of the endpoints of nets,
such as "there would be high current flowing between these two endpoints",
so that in the PCB design phase I would know that some part of the net should
be drawn using thicker lines.  

The barrier for using and enhancing the gedasymbols.org library should be
lowered - the symbols should be searchable/usable from within
gschem/gattrib/pcb, and the submission of new symbols should be made easier
(no svn, for example). Maybe a plain old file upload with user feedback
(like/dislike a particular symbol or footprint, which would then result
in higher position in user searches, etc.). Maybe some support for
autogenerated footprints (such as DIL with various number of pins).
