This discussion is very prescient.  Dan and Julian have been
instrumental in helping me beat gerbv into shape over the last two
weeks.  I plan on releasing a new version with 1 1/2 years of patches
applied.  I hope to release tomorrow or the next day, depending upon
my time availability.

Moving forward, we have a lot of good ideas for what to do with
gerbv.   Also, ideas folks have posted here should go into the gerbv
feature request tracker on SF:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=33921&atid=409541

That way we won't forget them.

Finally, please keep in mind that submitting patches will go a lot
further than submitting feature requests.

I can't promise that gerbv will become a beehive of activity, but us
developers won't let it get *too* far out of date again.  Also, the
code is simple enough that newbies might find it an easy vehicle for
learning about EDA software.  I will put hacking notes into CVS real
soon to help others figure out how it works.

Cheers,

Stuart
