Yes, this is what I/we try to achieve. My roadmap is this:

1. Define the new data structure.

This is what I'm doing nowadays.

2. Write importer/exporter to the new data structure for the current PCB.

This will allow us doing tests on the new data structure. Strictly speaking
with the existing PCB, we can fiddle only with the subset of the new data
structure.

3. Rewrite PCBs internal data structures and data handling.

4. Modify the HIDs to deal with the new data structure.

Does this sound reasonable?

I'm sorry that I'm slow. I have so many personal/dayjob tasks.

However, I'm on halfway to convince one of my college to work on pcb.

Thanks,
Lev
