"The world's free universal parts library" "There are 124 more parts"

A ways to go!

If footprint/symbol files and part metadata will be sourced from users, will that communal resource be made available through an API and/or bulk data releases? Or will it be controlled and enclosed?

The screencast has an old front page which mentions "Like Wikipedia[, we will not charge for access]", so my hopes and expectations are high! Of course Wikipedia is not a for-profit endeavor.

actually the API is public and the file format is standards based, we just havent had time to document everything yet!

Agreed we need to do better with adding more parts, please free to help out haha.
