I created gael without knowing about oregano. Once I discovered oregano
richard and I had some talk about it. He pointed that although advanced,
oregano hadn't a very scalable design. He was on the point to write a
second version but as he was heavily working on some other projects
(mrproject mostly, plus contribution here and there) he hadn't the time
to.
So we shared ideas and I started coding on gael. Gael has been designed
for Gnome2. Gael's website is http://gael.sourceforge.net

If someone is interested in taking over this fine app, please mail me as
well. EDA is a huge huge field so we need to lots of efforts to make a
nice EDA.

Gael's web site is far outdated as I don't have the time to either work,
find a new job, change home, hack, test gnome2 and do the website.
If someone's interested in working on the website as well, go ahead.
