Re: [sumo-devel] ActivityGen GUI in SUMO

[Daniel K. <d.k...@go...>]

Hello all,

just a side note: maybe it is really worth the try to enhance sumo-gui by
further functionality, maybe including some based on routing/network
building etc. We'd then have a monolithic application... Maybe not at once,
but incrementally. Maybe, regarding the usual lack of time, this is a better
way to continue than trying to set up additional specific gui applications.

sincerely,
Daniel
