-Library:
-- [ ] Finish implementing all elements
-  - [x] phase-shifter
-  - [ ] EO Modulator
-  - [ ] LFSR
-  - [ ] PWL source
-- [ ] Add models for the pcm
-  - [ ] Sequential FDTD/HEAT/...
-  - [ ] Looped MATLAB model
-  - [x] Raphael's LUT model
-- [ ] Rework the photodetector device into:
-  - [x] Single-ended photodetector (with noise)
-  - [ ] Opticall2 type photodetector
-  - [x] Oscilloscope probe
-- [ ] Add a monitor device to keep track of simulation duration
-  - [x] Time
-  - [ ] Energy spent by sources
-  - [ ] Energy left within circuit
+Possible improvements to SPECS
 
-Netlist:
-- [ ] Finish parser for all elements (and settings)
-- [ ] Document (keep up to date list of available components and commands)
-- [ ] Implement hierarchy
-- [ ] Implement named components
+Photonics:
+[ ] General Transmission Device - takes measured S matrix inputs
+[ ] Nonlinear optics in the waveguide model
+[ ] Pulse flattening from dispersion
 
-Simulation features:
-- [ ] Bundle all simulation parameters (timestep, precision)... into a class which can be used by devices
-- [ ] Bundle all material parameters into a table to make it easier to track/replace default parameters ?
-- [ ] Make a cmd line switch to run in CW mode
-- [x] implement runtime monitoring (energy...)
-- [ ] improve signals (use a more general "multidomain signal" class ?)
-- [ ] handle multiple propagation modes
-- [ ] handle bidirectionality in devices
-- [ ] handle arbitrary waveforms
-- [ ] handle non-linear effects
-- [ ] handle GVD as well
+Engine:
+[ ] Parallelization - currently it's single core
 
-Utilities:
-- [ ] Implement frequency sweeps (depends on CW availability for transmission)
-- [ ] Improve plotting capabilities
-  - [x] GTKWave
-  - [ ] Python reading with pyDigitalWaveTools
-- [ ] Link with a GUI for creating the circuits
-  - [ ] xschem
-
-Other:
-- [ ] Write data into a db (e.g. hdf5) instead of within the file-system
-- [ ] Logging features
-- [ ] Refactor once design is established
-- [ ] Implement a parallel job manager
-- [ ] Make some more features available through the command line
-- [ ] Readme and documentation
