Hi all,
We could take this subject to the Launchpad (LP) Bug Tracker by opening
a new bug report for this feature.
Anyone interested could choose to subscribe (and contribute) to this
specific bug (== feature).
Bonus points if someone knows how to open up the LP Blueprints
functionality (by contacting some pcb LP admin) to us mere mortals, so
we can have a "wall" we all can add our scribbles to.
It's possible to make a connection between bugs and blueprints in LP.
Just my EUR 0.02.
Kind regards,
Bert Timmerman.
