Re: gEDA-user: Reducing the amount of jumpers

[asomers@xxxxxxxxx]

For two layer boards, plating the holes is the hardest part.  You can
get through-hole rivets, but I've never tried them.  One trick is to
make a two layer board, but use jumpers to connect the two sides.  You
just need to make extra large vias with solder pads on each side and
then stick a short straight piece of wire through the hole.  I've even
seen high-volume manufactured boards built with this method.
