Oops, I hadn't intended this to go to everyone! Oh wel= l, I guess that cat's out of the bag.

I do not consider myself the project leader for pcb ... I feel more like th= e last man standing ;-)

Isn't the l= ast man standing usually considered the winner? You've won!

Anyway, your contributions are more than welcome.
And, as you may have noticed, some were pushed to master within days.

I did notice, and I've been happy to con= tribute!
=C2=A0
I do hold a "pcb monthly code sprint" on the last Sunday of each = month (most of the times), the next is scheduled for November 27th, as note= d on:

https://launchpad.net/sprints/pcb-monthly

Most of the times it has been me, myself and I.

I missed the launchpad notice. I had planned to start attending th= ese over the summer. I stopped by one as a lurker, but then I didn't se= e any more emails. I'll try to start joining you at these.

On other occasions people did contribute some patches with quite a lot of j= anitor work attached, so these are lingering ... I'm not the janitor ;-= )=C2=A0 ... and sometimes I just do these chores when I can't stand it = any longer ;-)

What kind of janitor wor= k? Perhaps I can help?

A new release is one of those things that needs be done ...

Please let me know how I can help.

I think pushing them contributions on git in a topic branch, a notice in th= e bug tracker on Launchpad and/or the mailing list should be enough to get = attention, git cherry-pick makes including them into master easy-peasy.

How/What/Where on launchpad? I guess I'= ;ve already notified the mailing list! I'll follow up with further desc= ription of the functionality.

I think the implementation of fonts not embedded in the pcb file itself is = a feature that needs rigorously testing before it can emerge in a new relea= se ... if at all.

I absolutely ag= ree.
