You didn't notice my posting last week about my nightly
geda-for-windows builds? Or that a big part of the upcoming pcb
release is a windows installer?
Sigh.

DJ,
I haven't checked each post from all threads, so I missed this. But all
us here use the Linux version anyway. But I would think to look at the
main site, [3]www.gpleda.org, for any kind of announcements since some
of us here -- and others who are not yet on this mailing list yet --
missed your post here.
I don't mean to begrudge the point, but the main site hasn't been
updated since Sunday, January 16, 2011 11:43:03 PM
I do see that the documentation webpage [4]http://geda.seul.org/wiki/
has been updated today -- but it sure helps to post a small little
blurb on the main site to direct anyone.
On other small thing, why are the links split across a couple of
websites for the same project ? I'm not talking about the sourceforge
or launchpad links, but instead the [5]geda.seul.org. The wiki could be
hosted on the same site. It just makes better sense to have one focal
point of information when it comes to supporting a project - that's
including some of the valuable information from other contributors,
beginning with yours and many others. It reduces the clicks and google
searches. Is it a matter of website storage or something else ?
