I'd like to point out that it would be best if it could be done in a way that 
is actually going to be achievable.

For instance, "Rewrite gattrib & gschem to use an entirely new paradigm of 
separate BOM & schematic" is not achievable.  Neither is, "Rewrite libgeda to 
allow multiple programs to have the file open at once and collaborate using 
IPC," I'm afraid.

Unless someone's volunteering to employ me to do it over next summer, in which 
case you can have that, but it'll cost you!

"Rewrite the component library C & Scheme APIs, and make a new GUI for it in 
gschem" is achievable (just).  Ideally, I'd like to be able to do it in a 
tidy, self-contained way.

                                  Peter
