Granted a lot of branches aren't really done, but this is something a leader might be able to help with as well. Right now we have at least: * an experimental branch with buried via implementation * a start on push-and-shove * improved object selection (Igor immediately ported it to his fork, it must be good) * opengl and 3D work (that I don't know anything about) As for refusing code because it doesn't fit the vision, gEDA isn't in a good position to do this. It makes devels quit and there aren't that many to begin with. A useful leader for this project would need to plan to work with devels to get their contributions in, monitor branches early and intervene early if a branch looked problematic, etc. It's really unfortunate Marcus didn't get along with people as he did a nice job of this.
