Dear people on this list,

I am impressed by the knowledge and expertise in the circuit
simulation field that some people possess. Why do not put this expertise
into something "real". I mean, ngspice is a rework of spice and NOT yet a
revolutionary simulator because:

- spice is a standard,
- many models exists for spice,
- spice is NOT YET GPLed or BSD (new version),
- people working on ngspice are doing it in their spare time,
- there is an "ocean" of difference between speaking of an improvement
  and making it.

Why do not join our ideas together, designing a circuit simulator,
extensible, configurable, etc. Our ideas should produce a document, a
sort of a "circuit simulator blueprint". 

Al and other wrote about spice deficiencies and proposed proposed
solutions to these. Al is doing a great work designing a simulator on his
own, a tremedous effort, I think, but he is on his own. Why do not join
together and write the specification of the "ever dreamed" circuit
simulation tool. I think that there are peple on this list that have the
necessary expertise or experience for that. 

Ok, now flame me ;-)

Regards,
Paolo
