Re: gEDA-user: Marketing gEDA - was - Re: Professional PCB help using geda?

["Andy Fong" <boringuy@xxxxxxxxx>]

I think for gEDA to be adopted as a commercial product, someone must setup a company to charge 
people thousands of dollar for a yearly support contract so they can call anytime and talk to someone 
quick in order to get things resolved. 

But you guys have been telling me for a 10 layer board with high speed digital signals, gEDA (or rather PCB) 
is not ready yet. I want to believe the other way. What are missing if I don't need the fancy via's and buried stuffs?

I think writing tutorials well is one good way.  Another is stories
about successful uses, put up on the gEDA website just like product
offerers do.

Maybe gEDA CAN be a product.  Short of the developers
attending lots of public meetings in suits, that is... :-)
