group for hspice/spice/ngspice

[analogweb@yahoo.com]

Hi All,
I have started a new google group 'spiceusers'
(http://groups.google.com/group/spiceusers) with an intention to share
the best practices among the spice user community.
If you are a spice user, I request you to join the group and
benefit/contribute from the discussions.

Thanks in advance.

You may also find http://www.designers-guide.org/Forum (particularly the circuit
simulators forum within that) a good place to discuss circuit simulator related
issues.

Regards,

Andrew.

 

I like your initiative, but I like to be invited by real persons.

Nothing against designers-guide, but I really don't like web forums.
The information that is put on such a forum is very bound to the site
and you have very little possibilibies to access the information
through anything else but the web interface. And what happens if the
owner of the site for some reason won't be able to maintain it?

In my opinion USENET is still, after all these years and all these
"new" technologies, the best way of discussing on-line.

I agree with your point that usenet is the best way of doing this - but since
the proposed group was a web group rather than a usenet group, I thought that it
would be best to use the Designers Guide forum. None of these fora work unless
there is a critical mass of people who read and respond.

The Designer's Guide site has been around for some time now, and is very active.
There was talk of RSS feeds being supported too, which may help those who don't
like web fora! (but that's not there yet...)

Andrew.

I disagree. USENET is too prone to scam. A moderated yahoo group with vetted
membership is far better. You can choose to receive emails, a summary email
or scan messages on line.
