That is indeed cool. Are you working in industry or academia? I'm just
wondering what sort of penetration the tools have.. do any of your
colleagues use gEDA too?

gEDA does have a bit of a learning curve.. and I'll admit to learning of
some of its features (PCB too) poking around in the code looking to add
them!

If you're doing development work on code for gEDA, you might consider
setting up a repository here: http://repo.or.cz/w/geda-gaf.git (choose
the "fork" option, and enter something like "geda-gaf/pault" for the
project name).

Best wishes,
