Hi Ouzounis,

Welcome to the list!

Regarding the circuit solver interface project, I have just updated the 
description of what can be done on this (it was out of date), so you may 
want to take another look. I actually thought I'd updated this some time 
ago, but something has clearly been missed, probably a button click.

Regarding the status of the interface, it is quite well developed. Qucs 
itself is installed as a shared library. There is an existing API to 
this which works reasonably well and can be adapted/extended to 
accommodate the new features. There examples of using the existing 
interface in the the development sources for Qucs here:

http://sourceforge.net/p/qucs/git/ci/master/tree/examples/external_interface/

Those responsible for the other projects you're interested in will be in 
touch soon I'm sure. I can provide more information if you want to know 
more.

Regards,
Richard Crozier
