Good news! Which projects are you using it on currently?

Righto. Do you have a roadmap for things you'd like to add, so that we 
can sync this with what we would like to see, or that we already have 
and can easily integrate?

There might be. The guys here were a bit put off by an error 
(lineseg<->point, which assumes an infinite line rather than a segment) 
and were thus a bit worried if an "obvious" error in a simple algorithm 
slipped through, how proven is the more advanced stuff? Are there any 
unit-tests written for this or do you test as you go along?

I think they can live with a few errors, if they can be fixed. The main 
worry is liveness and progress (which seems to be just fine. :). If 
issues are adressed and patches merged continously, I think they will be 
quite happy.

Also, if they choose GMTL (for all physics here), it would be _very_ 
nice if it was adopted for OpenSG 2.0, since then we have additional 
leverage to shift to OpenSG for the other platform too.

A trac site would be nice. These guys like Trac. :)

Cheers,
