Yep.

We have no real process for adding new modules to tcllib right now.

I would recommend as a first step to add yourself to the mailing
list <tcl...@li...> and ask there. Most
developers for tcllib are now on this list and then ask this
question there.

It would also make things easier if you have an account at SF so
that we can add you as developer to tcllib, to the trackers and
auto-assign items in the geometry area to you.

... Question on the module itself:

	Would it make sense to add the geometry functionality
	as a subpackage to "math" instead as a separate module ?

		[package require math::geometry]

	The current math functionality is actually more like

		math::statistics

Ideogramic, you guys do XML and UML with Tcl, right ?
I guess I now know where the geometry functionality is
required :)
