 # InkscapeCircuitsTemplate
 An Inkscape template for quickly creating circuit diagrams, block diagrams etc.
+The base template was created by Prof. L. Umanand of IISc Bangalore sometime in the late 2000s and has seen many minor changes and improvements over the years.
+
+Most of these changes were made by members of the Power Group (PEG-DESE) but have not been tracked / documented.
+
+There are some minor issues with this file at present but none of these should affect usability.
