opening a mailing-list is like opening a restaurant : clients won't
start coming in until it's busy.
Chaoscope user base is rather small, and you can divide this by two if
you exclude my friends and family. :-)

Ultimately, Chaoscope *will* integrate a built-in equation parser. The
code is freely available (i.e. FractINT) so it shouldn't be too much of
a hassle to implement it. Before that, I plan to release a SDK and let
the users create their own equations as plugins (compiled C DLLs). Just
like WinAMP, plugins shall be saved in a folder which will be polled
when the application is launched, the attractor list being populated
accordingly.
