Aah, nice. Yet another thing learned :) Thanks !

I never quite analyzed the Gerbers to a lot of detail, but what you
wrote sounds about right, except that both L6 and L7 seem to have a
lot of routing.
So, how do we get started. Shall I do another conversion from
http://downloads.openmoko.org/developer/schematics/GTA02/gta02_outline_footprints_netlist.tar.bz2
this time with the can outlines as well ?
Also, what should be the board orientation ? LCM side up like
Openmoko did or battery side up ? Almost all of the components are
at the "bottom", so the latter may be easier to work with.
Last but not least, board orientation. I think landscape is best,
given that screens are wider than tall. GPS to the right ?
