Moving this to the KiCad project on github is probably a good idea. I can't remember how I transferred Marco's KiCad doc repo. I think I gave him temporary admin privileges on the KiCad project page until he transferred it to the kicad project. Let me know if you want to do this and I will go ahead and give you admin privileges so you can do the transfer. > > On a sort of side note, but related.
