| To build a broad community and develop its full potential, the Netzgrafik-Editor needs additional user within transport companies, public administrations, and educational institutions. For timetable planners or students in transport planning, opening the source code is insufficient. To bridge the gap between software developers and end-users, the application was made [freely accessible](https://nge.flatland.cloud) online in 2024 to ensure that it reaches a broader audience. Open-source success relies not just on code availability but also on user engagement and accessibility. | ||

| NGE, initially developed internally at SBB, became open source in 2024. Similarly, the SNCF’s [Open Source Railway Designer (OSRD)](https://osrd.fr/en/) focuses on microscopic medium and short-term timetabling, capacity analysis, and simulation. In 2024, a productive collaboration began between the two development teams. This collaboration led to contributions from the OSRD team to the NGE project. In return, the OSRD team integrated NGE components into their software. Such a fruitful collaboration would have been unlikely without the OpenRail Association. In an independent project, an open source converter was developed to export data from NGE into timetables for the entire service day in different formats, such as GTFS static or [MATSim](https://matsim.org/) transit schedules. | ||
