Re: [featuremodel-dev] Documentation

Dear Luca,

At this time, there is no other graphical editor planned. But this is an
open source project and if you are interrested in a new graphical editor
you are welcome to support us.

BTW pure::variants is available as Community Edition for free and it
provides several representations of a feature model.

Best regards,

André
