Hey Ed,

I am not familiar with gEDA, however you should= be able to export from it Gerbers, placement and a BOM. Hopefully it has a= n export function so that you can get those files uploaded to the Macrofab = platform.

Let me know how it goes,

Jerry McDaniel <support AT macrofab DOT net>

If there's enough active pcb= -rnd user interest, I can roll an exporter this weekend.
