Hi, I'm Sebatian from Berlin. I have used Inkscape for a few years now and I have a project proposal on how to make Inkscape a full-blown electronics CAD tool with only few special-purpose additions. I have written some software before[1,2,3] and contributed to other open-source projects[4,5].
Looks interesting. It looks like a lot of work to implement everything in your blueprint? What do you propose to do for your GSoC project?
Connectors are of interest in general to the SVG working group.
I want to start with the component abstraction I described in the blueprint. I do not think there is anybody currently working in that area, but there is one other GSoC proposal about the "new from template" feature that is somewhat related to this. After that (if there is any time left) I would head on to the netlist generation. I would not touch the connector code right now because I think currently there are people working on this, and the changes needed are rather minor.
