I agree, and this is why I started thinking about and talking about
the edacore project. See http://edacore.org/ for my FOSDEM slides.

Please keep in mind that this project is rather ambitions and is
still vaporware. As you may have figured out :) I am however trying
to gather input on requirements.

Parameterized part data is an important design goal for edacore; so
that things like pad length extending from package can be tweaked
globally per PCB design, for the prototype run that needs to be hand
soldered.

I'm experienced with Git but I dislike relying on GitHub Inc. for
project hosting, since they are not involved in the development.

If it helps and makes sense I am happy to host repos on git.edacore.org
for experiments with existing part libraries, be it gEDA or KiCAD.
Just let me know, adding repos is quick and easy.

Please don't feel that I'm trying to hijack your efforts - if you
want to run with GitHub that's of course perfectly fine too, and I'm
all for it. :)


Kind regards
