  I was thinking of exactly this.  Perhaps a counter of "successful 
uses" of a given pattern...if I use a particular pattern in a design 
and actually have a board cut and solder to it, and things work out 
well, I can bump that pattern's counter by one using a web interface.

  Wow, good luck!  Can/will you put some pics online when you get the 
boards?

  I'm getting ready to start a design with gschem and pcb using a 
DragonBall (MC68VZ328) chip and a few other components.  I didn't see a 
'VZ328 symbol in gschem's library; I hope to be able to submit the 
symbol when I get it drawn.

  I am excited about it.  Yes, I'm a geek.  Oh well. ;)
