Me too.  Saying that the internals doc is lacking is not criticizing
_you_!  It's better than most of my own code's internals doc - probably
even most of the code I distribute.

One of the things I intend to produce for my own use is a reference for
the PCB<->HID interface - and that's one of the things I'll be happy to
feed back for others' use.  If desired, that is, which it sounds as
though it is.

Ah yes, expectation management.  The customer-interface people at work
talk a lot about managing customer expectations.  (I work for an ISP.)

I don't really _expect_ anything here.  Even if nobody helps me at all,
PCB will still save me a lot of time and effort as compared to what I
was more than half expecting I'd have to do, and I thank everyone
involved in making it so.  A few bugs are inevitable - try to find
anything anything like PCB's size that doesn't have bugs! - and if
dragging my language-lawyer persona out of the closet will help
eliminate some of them, I'm certainly up for it.  See y'all over on
geda-dev for the details. :)
