Hey guys,
I made an online KiCAD library for footprints and parts as well as generators for default parts. It's still in a rather early state, but it already works:
http://kicad.feinarbyte.deThe reason I made this is myself being annoyed by the library system status quo. I often end up making my own footprints and parts because I can't find the right ones or don't trust the measurements in more complicated parts. As I usually don't organize the files, I lost parts I made before and had to redo the work. Finally I decided to make an online library for everyone to use, so the effort of all the people that make their own parts like me isn't wasted, but can be shared.
So far you can:
generate parts (schema)
generate footprints (pcb)
upload parts & footprints
rate parts
search parts
If the service is welcome, I'll add more features like commenting, different generators and so on.
Let me know what you think.
To use the parts, select the items you like and then click the download button in the top of the window. Library files will be downloaded, that you can include in eeschema/pcbnew. If you want to add parts, just select, redownload, overwrite and restart kicad. In the future I might try to make a plugin/branch for kicad directly.
