Hi there,

a year or so ago I brought up (I can't remember exactly with who or where)
the possibility of contributing a concave hull algorithm and the good news
is that I'm close to convincing my work to open-source an implementation I
wrote.

To justify additional effort in preparing the code for release, they
(senior leads) want to confirm that other people actually want it. I think
that's hard for other people to give without seeing the actual code, but
what I'm hoping for from the maintainers is just a non-binding "yes" that,
in principle, you would be interested in an implementation of the concave
hull algorithm described in the following paper:

http://www.iis.sinica.edu.tw/page/jise/2012/201205_10.pdf

There would be no obligation for you to accept or take custody of the code
(obviously), they just want to know that we're not wasting our time
preparing it. I originally wrote it with contribution in mind, so I really
just need to do some polishing, make it respectable, etc.

Hope you're interested. Thanks, cheers.

Jeremy
