File Format Definitions ... And Plugin Support
I recently wrote a python script to convert between Eagle v6 and Kicad file formats. https:/
Throughout the process I had to become very familiar with both formats, and so I found a few errors in the Kicad file format documentation. I know that these documents are provided with he binary installer, however I am guessing that these are outdated (date is 2009).
1) I've searched the source on Launchpad, however I can't find these documents. Where can I locate these documents so that I can submit some corrections.
2) I've also heard tell about an upcoming plugin feature. Is there any code released for this? I'd like to try my hand at translating the python board conversion script into c++ so that It can be eventually released as a plugin.
3) Finally, I've seen documents talking about "s-expressions" and new file formats, is this relevant to the .brd and .sch files that are saved or is this the only relevant to how the data structures are held internally.
Thanks in advance
