Footprint library
Centroid: Diode and capacitor footprint
Pin1 is cathode or capacitor-positive. Pin1 is left for two pin devices like resitor and caps.
Pin1 is on upper left for many pin device like DIP, QFP, SOT...

Schematic:
reversed pins of LED: create new LED component
Silk fix: DONE 10/09
placement of K70, K40
value of resistor:10K -> 1K
Capslock for Cherry Stepped 1.25u: DONE 10/09
Someone may use Cherry keycaps with stem adapters.
never seen 1.25u stepped Capslock for Alps, normally 1.5u stepped or 1.75u(no stepped) for Alps
ISP pads:
Support for infinity bottom row: 1.5, 1, 1, 1.5: DONE 03/05
Thumb keys, split space bar: near future
Trackpoint support: mount holes and IO pins: Future revision
Bluetooth support: Future revision
USB connector should be shifted to outside by 0.3-0.5mm. 04/05
ISO Enter Support:
ISO Enter key can be used in Rev.B and later revision. The PCB supports three mount positions, 1u, 1.25u and 1.5u. See pictures and figure below. Matias has 1.25u mount, Dell and Alps have 1.5u mount and ISO Enter with 1u mount is not confirmed its existence yet. By the way, Cherry ISO key is also located in middle of 1.25u as Matias does.

On their Facebook they said:
we can screw V60 plate on 4 holes of Poker2/Pure Pro case. Basicly , V60 can fit in Poker 2 case. But V60 has 6 dip switch , Poker 2 only has 4 dip switch. If the back side hole space not enough , the plate touch , not balance.
Poker 2 can not fit in V60 case. Because V60 case is a little smaller than Poker 2.
