If you believe that, you are seriously deluding yourselves. I came across posts from two university instructors who gave up using the tools (I would not consider them 'simple minded'). In a nutshell, user frustration got the best of them. I gave one of my summer students the job of trying to use gschem+pcb....he plain gave up b/c of inefficient use of his time. So, while this is a small sample, it may be wise to consider these issues as the project moves forward. OK, well sorry about the critical posts - it is not personal. If I violated protocol, I apologize. Some insightful ppl made some very good observations about the CERN situation...perhaps those observations may lead to changes for the good.

You need a 100 sport practicying people to get a 10 federate people (asocied to a federation, I'm not sure how works in other countryes) to get a 1 professional.
If gEDA make run potencial users, how to gain a 1 developer/document writer/etc.?
(In something past threads I discuss with other people in this list about this.)
