*Graph Editor: improved zooming; deleting nodes and edges, improved GUI for new population generation (on track)
*Fix to population rewinding (on standard population model; new object, new doc) 
TO DO: Update status on items marked “on track” or “considering” next week 
DEFER TO FUTURE
*Scenario “compile” proof of concept
*Ability to delete items inside a graph in designer perspective (Stefan)
