[opensource-dev] Fermi Viewer

[Carlo Wood]

Imho, it is not a good idea to start yet-another-viewer.
The number of open source coders are limited, they should
be working on one viewer - not twenty.

We already have more than 10 different viewers based
on LL's code. How is it possible we need another?
