1) , 3) and 4) Do the Electric developers plan on embedding
distributed processing, SDCs and DFT? If not, have they thought about
it? How can they help one to modify/implement them?
None of the things you listed are planned for Electric. But any of them
can be done, by you or other interested developers. As always, I am
available for guidance and question answering.
Adding another question
6) I really like command prompts where I can run scripts with almost
no effort. Electric has some reasonable options for running scripts,
but it doesn't have a command prompt (at least in the version I have)
that I can quickly copy and paste or add specific commands similarly
to the commercial tools without moving the mouse too much.
You *can* script Electric but it's not easy. You have to use the Java or
Python interface, which gives you complete access to the entire code
base. With that much power, you can create circuitry, run tools, write
files, and feed arbitrary commands to Electric, all from a script
written in either Java or Python. The user's manual explains these
interfaces, but you'll have to study the code to know the methods to
call for each of the commands you want to script. Also note that the
Java interface comes built-into Electric, but Python needs to be added
separately).
