Hi!

We have been using your library (with a small change that required us to fork it) for addings crowds to robotics simulation in RMF for some time. There are a few improvements that we could do but we have been holding back to avoid having diverging history, the main one being that when compiling Menge with newer C++ versions there are a lot of warnings that can flood the output (and I'm generally worried they might become errors in future C++ versions).

I was wondering if in general this project is still developed / maintained? If it is we might try to contribute to this codebase otherwise I guess we will have to just keep our fork.

Cheers! /Luca

If you wanted to submit PRs back into Menge, I thing that would be the most wonderful thing possible. :) I will happily review them and help in any way I can.

Menge was written in a very antiquated form of C++ (there are some silly historical reasons for that). It's been my intent to modernize it. Certainly, eliminating new warnings due to advancing compilers would be a part of that. If you've been working on modernizing it, it would be wonderful to roll that back into the main repo.

Let me know how I can help.
