Some time ago, it was mentioned on the list, that the actual code won't scale. 
So it's really hard to add new components to the simulator. We need a way to 
define components more easy. XML would be something to mention here. I don't 
see the problem to do something like that with the visualisation part, but for 
the simulator I don't see a good way to do it.
There is a wiki page for features:
http://ktechlab.org/wiki/index.php?title=DEVEL:Feature_Request

I mentioned to create the simulation logic in the XML files via ECMA script, 
since this could be interpreted by Qt. I haven't done any speed tests till 
now.. shame on me.

May be, you could have a look at the feature requests and see if your ideas 
fit in there. I suggest to find something you want to work on and then we 
should talk about it (may be irc or IM, or something similar) to see, how it 
should be implemented. May be something needs to be ported before you start.

Do you have kdelibs4 installed? IMHO it won't be a good idea to develop hot 
new features for the KDE3 version.

bye then
