Make me a public Adom wiki project page, "Wolfgang's KiCad library", that serves my fork as one KiCad Plugin and Content Manager repository: one package with all 7 symbol libraries and the drawing sheets, credited to Adam Skotarczak. Add a sub-page with all the symbols and English names.-3. Add that repository URL in KiCad's Plugin and Content Manager, install the package, and show me every symbol in the Symbol Editor so I can see it all works.-4. For the symbols that are real products (the Pilz PNOZ and Phoenix Contact modules), reuse the Adom wiki component pages if they exist, or make them: DIN-rail footprint and 3D model. Set the symbols' Footprint fields in my fork, push, bump the package and update it in KiCad.-5.
