2020 update

At the moment the CoralEDA project is suspended as the only active participant is the pcb-rnd project. CoralEDA may restart later, when the ringdove suite is mature enough or when suitable participants are found.

Summary

coralEDA	is an umbrella project for a collection of free/open source EDA related software
Focus	Electronic Design Automation: computer aided electronic design related utilities.
Mission	Instead of providing a monolithic EDA software suite, coralEDA is a collection of independent, small projects that combine into an ecosystem of tools (following the best UNIX traditions on modularization and simplicity).
Decentralized	coralEDA has no code of its own, merely coordinates existing, actively developed projects. Member projects are developed independently, each having their own developer and leadership, working according to their own technological/methodological choices
Interoperability	coralEDA makes effort to get member software projects to work well together
Two-tier construction	In the tight ring of coralEDA, there are projects who invest effort and time to form a tightly coupled ecosystem of EDA-related software. This effort is actively coordinated by the coralEDA team. There are fewer projects in the tight ring, but a lot of connections and practical work-flows between these projects. In the loose ring of coralEDA, there are projects that happen to work well together with those projects in the tight ring. This loose coupling allows less connected projects to join.
Comments, feedback, suggestions	live chat with the developers or mail to: coraleda (at) igor2.repo.hu
Support and hosting	CoralEDA is trying to support member projects by coordinating the interoperability effort, helping users to find the best tool for their needs among the projects, and optionally providing free of charge hosting (VCS, IRC, mailing list, web, web services) for member projects.
