I can't say I'm working on anything exciting.  I'm just gonna do bug
fixing (spice-sdb) at the code sprint.  I am also slowly DOxygenating
gattrib in anticipation of doing some code clean-up.

However, here are two things I think are important for new work:

1.  Finish up gEDA project manager.  We dumped the old one, but don't
have anything new.  Meanwhile, I continue to see people using the old
project manager.

2.  Modify/enhance gsch2pcb.  I see two enhancements:
     1.  Make it output PCB actions, instead of a .pdf file.  Not all
         the pieces are in place in PCB for this, but I received the
         impression from Dan that we are close.
     2.  Eliminate the separate projectrc file for gsch2pcb.  It seems
         to cause too much confusion for newbies.  Better would be to
         have it use gafrc.  The question then is:  How to specify the
         location of the footprints, since this is a PCB (and not
         gEDA/gaf) configuration?  Maybe embedd this functionality
         into the project manager?

Both of these projects are within my abilities, so I may take a look
at them soon.
