You can find the refactoring work, Zoltan has done, in the svn repository. 
Find it in /doc/devel/ in trunk. He did some work on the data model for the 
compontents. This is also the part, where the XML-representation of components 
will be settled. The main simulator just uses this model to calculate all 
currents and voltage stuff for each component. I can't be very precise here, 
because I haven't looked into this part very close. My english is also quite 
limited in the electronics area, but I try to get into it. ;)

I only work on the visual part, yet. The view doesn't care about components 
much. It just takes the visualisation (graphics in SVG-format) and displays 
it. The model of the circuit describes how components are connected. This is 
mainly what is possible right now, but that is somewhat limited and Qt3/KDE3 
code. I'm porting it to use Qt4/KDE4 features.

bye then
