There was someone doing OpenSpice, they quit 2 years ago, maybe you'd like the changes merged!

I'll accept prs on my fork

@tapegoji @thejackal360 @FabriceSalvaire and everyone involved here:

I see there are a few forks that have some activity in them and that Fabrice seems occupied.
What would be the best way forward?
Could we add a few people as maintainers to PySpice-org?

For projects I maintain that I'm too busy for, it has worked well for me to just give people who submit good PRs commit access. Nothing bad happened, and now improvements happen without me.

If Fabrice is completely unavailable, is there one clear fork with significant activity, work, and history?
I think it'd be good to give that a distinct name, and I am a firm believer that without full time staff it is critical to have as many maintainers as possible who come and go as time allows.
If OpenSpice is taken and dead, I'd propose LibreSpice lol

@tapegoji updates frequently, honestly I am just using my own fork for my own ends, but if you want to fork pyspice and merge our changes I will not complain and probably do prs from time to time, the openspice changes are not mine, what is mostly important is testers are most forks have so many problems...

@pepijndevos and @Kreijstal and @thejackal360
I like this idea. Count me in.
My fork is from the devel branch (PySpice 1.6). It is in an a good condition. However, needs a lot of more work to be done.

How can we start. Let me know who is in so I can spearhead this.

[pepijndevos]

Well, let's give Fabrice a chance to respond, as keeping development under the PySpice organization would avoid a lot of trouble and confusion.

But if that fails I'd suggest setting up a new github organization, moving your fork there, and adding contributors as you see fit.

fwiw I'm at this time not an active contributor to this project, but intend to use it to simplify https://github.com/NyanCAD/Pyttoresque/ and plan to add support for gnucap. I'd be happy to first prove myself with some PRs, or help triaging open PRs to get in relevant fixes.

[tapegoji]

@pepijndevos I have been trying to reach him for months. Not sure, he wants to come back.

[pepijndevos]

Well, let's go then
