Dear QUCS development team, A student of mine (Pedro Macedo, in CC) has developed a Wattmeter module for QUCS and we would like to add it to the QUCS sourcefourge repository and official distribution. Thanks in advance, Mário Alves Politécnico do Porto Mário Alves Professor Coordenador [http://www2.isep.ipp.pt/assinatura_email/EMAIL_ISEP.png] ISEP | Instituto Superior de Engenharia do Porto Rua Dr. António Bernardino de Almeida, 431 4249-015 Porto - PORTUGAL tel. +351 228 340 500 | fax +351 228 321 159 ma...@is... | www.isep.ipp.pt<http://www.isep.ipp.pt> |

Perhaps joining the development on GitHub [1] and reading our Contribution guidelines [2] might be a good start.

Dear Mário, I am forwarding your previous message also to qucs-devel. Thank you for sharing the news about the usage of QUCS in your school. I exchanged a few private emais with Pedro. I have been a bit busy lately and could not test his latest code. Pedro, perhaps it is better if you make a pull-request. Doing so other developers can take a look at your code and help you to shape it for inclusion. Mário, I encourage you and your students to create issues and send pull-requests in our GitHub repository [1]. Doing so we can keep track of what is going on, discuss about the issues and collaborate to improve the project. The qucs-devel list is also a good place to discuss features and ask questions.
