Should that section have subsections for the resp. generator, with eg. 
tuturials, examples of inp. data and png's for the result and perhaps
some comparitions, weaknesses/strengths ?

In similar category are symbol convertors, using symbols.
Perhaps a structure like:

symbols:
 what is a symbol (http://wiki.geda-project.org/geda:glossary)
 file format (http://wiki.geda-project.org/geda:file_format_spec)
 creation within gschem (http://wiki.geda-project.org/geda:gschem_symbol_creation)
 symbol (batch?) generators
 symbol converters

Yes, please.

Perhaps that should point to the possible new section.
