Geometry Boost List: Re: [geometry] Potential Gsoc project topic

I had a doubt regarding the competency test for GSoC 2021. As per
Vissarion's suggestion, a prototype implementation of 3d convex hull would
be accepted as a competency test. But since the implementation for
polyhedral surfaces is just in a prototype stage and not fully
implemented(like the halfedges and their relation with the polyhedral
surfaces, vertices, etc which would be implemented before the GSoC coding
phase starts)  , the 3d convex hull algorithm(using a quickhull or
randomized incremental algorithm) implementation would be difficult. So,
could you please suggest another implementation that would be accepted as a
competency test.

Regards,
Ayush
