Hi all,

in spite of my efforts, the previous thread mostly turned into the usual 
"dreaming and throwing in random ideas" thing. No surprise, I've seen this 
happening a lot with back annotation threads in the past. Thanks for DJ 
for his proposal and for those who did read the proposals and cotributed 
with useful additions.

I am still determined to implement the feature, and I still think it can 
be done in a relatively short time frame once it's started. So I will 
mostly ignore the other thread and kick off the sceond phase by this mail.

After considering DJ's idea, I think it wouldn't save me solving the 
tricky parts in gschem. It'd provide pin mapping (that I already have 
anyway) and a more generic solution to options/swapping/slotting, but 
would take more efforts to do and wouldn't provide some of the other 
features I originally wanted to have (e.g. footprint changes kin pcb). So 
I decided to stay with my original proposal, plus think over some of the 
aspects brought up in the othe thread.


What the projdct needs next is a gschem contributor. Please read what kind 
of contribution is exactly needed at:

http://repo.hu/projects/pcb-rnd/devlog/20150901a_back_ann.html

Please note: if you reply without reading that url, I will ignore your 
reply; if you are offering ideas and no contributions about these 
specific 3 points, please use the other thread. Yup, I am already prepared 
to the case that noone offers contribution, you don't need to remind me 
on that possibility.

Regards,

Igor2
