After finishing the cleanups, I have the choice to implement new features in pcb-rnd or to switch to cschem. I decided to start a rollling, non-one-time vote about the new features. I especially try to focus on which features would make users to invest time in testing/using/supporting pcb-rnd on the long run (as I don't have high/direct demand on these features as an user so I wouldn't implement them for my own amusement). I wrote a crude CGI that can collect and store the votes: http://igor2.repo.hu/cgi-bin/pcb-rnd-poll.cgi If you are a PCB user, please take a few minutes to visit the page and if you like any of the features, please make your vote (it takes only an email address to do so). I am also open for new feature/bugfix suggestions in email (list or private). This time I do _not_ take votes in email. I probably won't join futile rehash-discussions on details of "the usual" features (e.g. file formats, blind/burried vias), especially if I see the sender did not sign up for testing. The system remembers your previous votes and you can change (or even revoke) your vote any time. It's a rolling poll: new features may be added in the future. If a feature gets enough score and testers, I contact the potential testers to validate their email address and will to test before implementing anything. TIA, Igor2
