Precedence: bulk

to balance the pessimistic estimations in the last mail, here is the good 
side.

In the past few days, there's been some changes. This was happening mostly 
on IRC and/or private so it's reasonable to update the list now:

- pcb-rnd testing got some contribution int he past 2 weeks, from Evan and 
from a Polish friend of mine; this included some random user testing and 
some systematic testing.

- I've got a private signup for the 'looking for contributors' mail

- Erich showed interest in writing some file format plugins (he is 
maintaining a nice converter)

- there is some upgrade/polishing going on on scconfig (independently 
of pcb-rnd) with a contributor

- a few weeks ago a contributor started to work on a package of pcb-rnd so 
it may get some visibility in distributions

So pcb-rnd is a bit less of a one-man show today. I spent more than half 
of my Sunday on working on things contributors needed, which is a good 
sign. I think there's much more potential in the community, tho.

Regards,

Igor2
