This is a very good thing and a great service. On large infrastructures it might make sense to have a limited repository in some sort of proxy on-site. You on the other hand appear to operate under a more narrow scope. So, you would not like to first create a local repository of many TByte, which need to be updated very, very frequently. I will take the liberty of comparing this to download *all* CNN's daily news before you view a few articles.

Please ask this question in another thread next time and sorry I am not too familiar with it but what about Dia. If you have a lot of existing files from Visio, then I think you would have to install Visio under Wine because M$ keeps the file properties a "top secret".
I use "GNU Eda Schematic Editor" by the way.
