Indeed. _If_ Orocos does something in this direction, it _has_ to be
open source, of course :-)

My points are:

- it would be interesting to see another modelling language, to get
  ideas.
- if 20Sim want to cooperate with any open source initiative, I would
  welcome that.
- OverFlow has already done most of the basic work for such a viewer;
  and even more than just viewing: it allows _creation_ of code too.
  (It's still in beta, though :-)

I've seen the software, and discussed with the makers, and I like it.
And that's not a simple statement for me, because it's been a long
time since I really liked a Windows-only program :-)
