FedoraElectronicLab/MenuStructure

Electronic Menu Structure

The Menu Structure for Fedora Electronic Lab is too complex as the number of EDA softwares tops 70 packages.

Below is a proposed submenu structure to patch against the existing "Electronics" Menu.

Proposal for submenus

* Automation
* Analog/Mixed Signal Design
* Digital IC Design
* Embedded Design
* Schematic to PCB Layout
* Spice Simulation
* Waveform Viewers
