Hi Mark, Your explanations are most surprising to me. In particular, from the fact, that "many components come in multiple package variant simultaneously" I'd rather draw a conclusion, that the SCH/PCB tools should let the designer maintain that flexibility; and with the same SCH allow him/he

GitLab, like any other platform, has been suffering from cryptocurrency abuse which has been resulting in more and more lock down of signups. There's a new bull wave in crypto so of course the abuse has ramped up. However, I just confirmed that the phone number verification is risk assessment bas

GitLab is where all development happens. If their requirements are too onerous then, while we are sorry to lose you, there are extremely limited ways that you'll be able to be involved in KiCad at all. You can still offer translations at https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/kicad/ but that is all.

Hello Rafał, KiCad development was never on GitHub - it was originally on Launchpad and later moved to GitLab. The issue (and therefore feature request) tracker is at https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/ - you can search for related issues there, or start a new one. Hope this helps

Hi Oliver, The subject somehow died out, but I'd like to followup: 1. I've looked up current kicad github for guidance, and it looks pretty "overpopulated" - lots of small repositories without any sort of "oversight". Many marked as "legacy", but still visible ... and in consequence creating "

Normally it is easiest to have an initial discussion on a GitLab issue as comments. At some point if we agree on a direction, the next step is to make a specification document (typically with Google docs but not required). On Mon, Feb 26, 2024 at 3:07 PM 'White Fox' via KiCad Developers < devlist
