Re: gEDA-user: Power (and other non-graphical) pins

Do either of you think that one size shoe should fit all peoples feet?

The market place of jobs will have opportunities for specialists and for
generalists and for ranges in between.

The generalist will be at a disadvantage when faced with a task that
pushes state of the art for a specific field. The specialist tends to be
pressed when outside their area.

How does this relate to geda? Feed back from specialists isn't bad but
they need to understand that their suggestions will be treated as
suggestions not as mandates. The coders will work on what interests
them, or what they get payed to work on, or maybe if they get some
thrill from being the one to provide some feature (or in DJ's case I
think he just can't help but be creative).
