Read code.
Fix code.
That's it, basically.

All features would be nice, especially if it helps compete with
expensive, crappy and expensive software such as Eagle. =)

None current, sorry.

Some things I want to do:

Re-write the component system to be database driven and allow
scalability to many hundreds of parts while keeping the high-level
simplicity of the current UI.

Frequency domain analysis, at least through the audio band...

6BQ5. =)

More debug modes for part and subcircuit analysis.

Hey, just about any idea is a good idea. I'm only an amature when it
comes to electronics, my only formal training is in computer science.

Cuz we're idiots. =P
