Re: gEDA-user: PCB doc on wiki (was RE: Vias with zero clearance in PCB?)

[Steve Meier <smeier@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I will second Jose's Motion. The PCB and GAf documentation could use an
overhall but it should not be done by the active developers (until they
get through my amazingly long wish list) Well it isn't that long. But
there are plenty of users that could be helping do this. Myself
included. Any users wishing to participate in a semi organized manor
send me an email and let see if we can get organized.
