Hi.

Is there a centralized repository for components symbos, footprints, etc?
Kicad is an excelent program but lacks a lot of them. I saw some few
scaterred around and I tought would be nice to have a centralized
repository for them.
If it does not exists, I'm glad to help to create one. I tought even
about creting a tool to import them from another CAD like protel or
eagle if we can find the file format they use.

If it does not already exist, why not using the "file" section of this newsgroup on the web as a start, where everybody who wish to add their own creation may upload it?
And something like a footer signature on every message that is post from the group may point to that location for the newcomers to know and as a reminder...
Should have some kind of classification and rules to avoid a big mess.

See my earlier post on this topic. I have set up a library folder in the files section of the group for just this purpose. Feel free to create your own sub folders and contribute your work.

I have set up a footer that will be added to all future messages (including this one hopefully) that asks people to contribute their symbols and modules to the library folder of the group files section..As far as classification is concerned I would advise contributors to create a sub directory with a unique name and place their files in it.
