I contacted the edacore project, but it seems our vision totally differs, so we should just do two different projects. I also seeked some of the gEDA project leaders, hoping we could do this together, but I failed. So I started to do it alone, hoping that it would be useful and/or adapted by other projects (including, but _not_ limited to gEDA members). The cost was so low that even if it ends up just "yet another file format" only one tool uses, it's still not a big loss. The name is tEDAx - Trivial EDA eXchange. Focusing on trivial-to-implement file exchange for the common-minimum data. Project page and specificaitons: http://repo.hu/projects/tedax A hint on costs of adoption: I wrote the reference parser and a tEDAx netlist (schematics) importer plugin in pcb-rnd in about 70 minutes total. Why should we care: short term I believe tEDAx can solve a serious design falw in our gschem* -> pcb* flow that I will describe in another mail in another thread. *** HELP NEEDED *** I don't have high hopes, but just in case: I need help from USERS (and/or developers) experienced with spice and gnucap and the circuit simulation flow in general.
