In the scope of the ATC discussion, we have also talked about extending [[Atlas]] to use it as the foundation for a standalone ATC client, concentrating on a maximum degree of code reuse. | In the scope of the ongoing ATC discussion, we have also talked about extending [[Atlas]] to use it as the foundation for a standalone ATC client, concentrating on a maximum degree of code reuse. This is a fairly old idea, which has already been suggested 5 years ago: []. | ||
It seems, that most of the existing atlas features could be used for ATC purposes, too. While only very few new features would be needed that would require changes to the C++ source code. This would make it possible to generalize the atlas code some more, so that using Atlas for ATC purposes would merely be a different "mode". | It seems, that most of the existing atlas features could be used for ATC purposes, too.
