FW: User contributions

[kannoll]

As part of a project for one of my VLSI design courses, I've already started
down the path of setting up a Wiki. I haven't brought it up with Mr. Rubin,
yet, though.

I would welcome any help and suggestions.

Subject: User contributions

Is there any plan for making user contributions to Electric development
easier? What is missing, is a community based platform for exchanging
designs, libraries, configurations, scripts and patches that are not
necessarily suitable for upstream.

There are two ideas that look sensible to me:
- (simple) setting up an Electric wiki (or similar solution),
- (more complex) modifying Electric to run as a Web Start application and
integrating it with above mentioned wiki. It wouldn't have to be as hard as
it seems at first as Electric already has some relevant features
(implemented in java, built in revision control etc). This could open a
possibility to create a platform for exchanging electronic designs (think
YouTube for EE's)

Regards,
\R.
