Scope: what to leave out

• 2.5d instead of 3d
  • data model & UI: stackup of 2d sheets
  • external, opaque 3d models
  • export to 3d (OpenSCAD)
• autorouter
  • minimal router built in
  • plans for assisted routing
  • export/import for external routers
• part manager
  • requires knowledge of other software (e.g. sch capture)
  • ... which leads to unwanted integration
  • fp_* plugins can solve this without integration
• i18n: pcb-rnd speaks in English only
  • the international language of electronics is mainly English
  • maintaining i18n in code takes a lot of effort
  • keeping translations up to date takes a lot of effort
  • mixed language UI is worse than foreign language UI
