Pavel wrote those comments in Eagle for Windows. When I load the 
schematics in Eagle for Windows, the comments fit inside the frame. 
Agree we should improve this somehow - everyone switch to Windows?

Not sure an audience that can't read schematics are going to look at the 
schematics. I've often wondered how much regular people understand from 
schematics. Maybe I'll do a survey in the office tomorrow =).

Yep, definitely doable. Supply text you want on that first page please?

I put all Kents comments, and some other comments/questions I had on a 
wiki page to try and use that to keep track of the resolution of all 
items.

  https://wiki.cryptech.is/wiki/AlphaReviewLog 

(if this link gets some [1] rubbish appended to it, please know that it 
is some bad new habbit of my MUA of choice - KMail. grr. I used to go 
with KMail because it actually had a knob to turn for all such 
idiocies.)

People with wiki accounts, feel free to edit the page. In general I hope 
we can have on-list (this list) discussions about the different topics.

I have intentionally not added the comments sent to the core list 
earlier, that I asked those involved to re-post here to the tech list. 
Hint hint.
