[opensource-dev] Fermi Viewer

[Arthur Fermi]

That isn't something I had considered.  In the end we would still need
developers as we do not have the skills within the staff.

Pehaps you could add the building and sim management features you think are
useful to an existing project.

Well LLs base is a decent start point.  We have looked at the other viewers
and think we have some good ideas.  I find that most of the other viewers
are not focused on building or sim management.

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?
