I would be happy to see improvements in pcb pattern libraries and in 
gschem symbols. Hmmm if there was a web site that allowed users to rate 
the quality of patterns... that might be a step towards pattern 
verification. The geda symbol web page might be a good example.

Sure I would be happy to see your work Olof and to contribute my own.

What happened to that project for automatically generating patterns. It 
seems to me that if I could use a spread sheet to enter critical data 
then patterns could be generated from the spread sheet. Is anybody 
working on something like this?

p.s. my fingers are crossed right now because i have a ridged/flex board 
with a 45 pad bga flip chip (8 mil pitch) being assembled this week. 
Circuit designed with gschem board layed out with pcb 1.99o (modified to 
allow part rotation of 45 degrees)
