Would You Be Interested in Roadtesting KiCad EDA?

rscasny

KiCad has a following on the element14 Community, so we figured it would be a good thing to roadtest. It's a little different than what we usually roadtest, so we have a few questions. KiCad is free, so we were wondering what the potential roadtesters would like to see in the roadtest kit. There was a suggestion for the roadtesters to design a Raspberry Pi HAT. But we could also use a Pi/Ardunio library or even someone's own design. 

I have some polls below. I'd appreciate you voting. Thanks.

    Maybe a bit off the wall, but wouldnt a nice part of a road test include actually get a 5 pack of their fabs made for participants ?

    I suspect Design Challenges are intensive work, whereas Project14 is a lot lighter touch to support. It's a lot of effort to ship low-cost boards, so it might be better for any applicant to just swallow…

    This sounds interesting but I'm not sure that the roadtest format is the best for this, maybe a design challenge could be more appropriate.

    The roadtest kit could include the fabrication of the PCB. Eventually the whole process of designing and fabricating and testing the PCB  could be part of the roadtest. Maybe it could be a design challenge. To include the whole process I believe it would probably take longer than 2 months though, maybe it could be separated into different phases.
