Hi Bert-

I have a couple of miscellaneous pcb related questions I want to ask you
since it seems like you're presently the leader of the pcb project.

First, I haven't seen any notices recently about pcb code sprints. Is that
still happening?

Second, it seems like there have been a lot of bug fixes since the most
recent release of pcb. It might be a good idea to do a release so that some
of the major distros get the updates in their packages. I would be happy to
help with this, but I'm not sure what all is involved.

Third, over the last couple of months, you've almost certainly noticed that
I've identified and contributed fixes for a number of bugs. I've found them
as I've been working on a (not so) little "get to know pcb" project. I
think it's finally ready to share with the community, so I was just
wondering if you had any advice on the best way to do that. Is it best to
just blast it out onto the list, or is it better to email a few of the
developers individually to get their takes on it and do some revisions
before announcing it generally? I'm hoping that it will ultimately be
incorporated into master.

My project is in the branch home/cparker/font_fun. You can probably guess
what I've implemented based on the name. I've put together a system that
allows for multiple fonts in a design and for easy changing of fonts. It
includes a page in the preferences window (of the gtk hid) with tool tips
to provide some usage help. I've tried to do it in a style consistent with
the current codebase. It's not quite a complete feature branch as there are
still some things I'm not sure how to do, like, add files to the install.
I'd be happy to describe further if you're interested, or to document it
all somewhere if you can suggest where I ought to put the information.

Thanks,
--Chad
