        Frequently Asked Questions
      </p>

      <p class="Subtitle">
        Another questions can be answered via the <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/mlab-users">Mailing list</a>.
      </p>

      <h2> I don't understand Czech. What should I do? </h2>
      
      <p>
        Because we are not English native speakers it is not easy to write large
        English texts. We hope that the most information is international
        (schematics, pictures, sources) so only the detailed text can be
        problem. If you have any question, please ask us and we will try to answer.
      </p>

      <h2> I have found a bug or typo. What should I do? </h2>

      <p>
        Let <a href="./AboutAuthors.en.html" title="Contacts to Authors">us</a>
        know or you should use <a href="http://wiki.mlab.cz" title="Wiki MLAB">wiki</a> to correct it. 
      </p>

      <h2> Where are design files? </h2>

      <p>
        All design data (schematic files, PCB files, sources and so on) is
        stored in SubVersion database on our server. You can browse the database
        using your web client because we have
        <a href=  "http://www.mlab.cz/WebSVN/listing.php?repname=MLAB&amp;path=%2F&amp;sc=0&amp;langchoice=English" title="Web interface for SVN database">WebSVN</a> server.
        You can browse or look at any single file or you can download the whole
        (compressed) subdirectory of the project you are interested in.
        <br>
        Other possibility is to install SubVersion client on your computer and
        download what ever you wish. How to do it is written on
        <a href="./Downloads.en.html" title="For Download">Download Page</a>.
      </p>

      <h2> Why you do not use git? </h2>

      <p>
        Git is perfectly suitable to software development. But MLAB is focused on hardware which leads 
        to many binary files incompatible with git powerfull merge tools.       
      </p>

      <h2> Where is the partlist? </h2>

      <p>
        Detailed partlist (Bill of Material) in XLS format is usually stored in <i>SCH</i>
        directory of the project.
      </p>

      <h2> I don't understand the directory structure. How to understand it? </h2>

      <p>
        The directory structure is documented but not in English so you have to
        help yourself. We are trying to use the same directory structure for
        all projects (both modules and designs).
      </p>

      <h2> Can I buy complete modules? </h2>

      <p>
        Some modules are available at the <a href="http://www.ust.cz/shop/"
        title="Prodej stavebnic a hotových podulů MLAB">internet store</a> of UST - Universal Scientific Technologies company. If you wish to buy some designs for cryptocurrency conins, please contact Jakub Kákona (kaklik@mlab.cz)
