[boost] Formal Review: Boost.Polygon starts today August 24, 2009

Dear Developers,

The formal review of the Boost.Polygon library by Lucanus Simonson  
starts today, August 24, 2009 and will finish September 2, 2009.

I really hope to see your vote and your participation in the  
discussions on
the Boost mailing lists!

---------------------------------------------------

About the library:

The boost polygon library provides algorithms focused on manipulating  
planar
polygon geometry data.  Specific algorithms provided are the polygon set
operations (intersection, union, difference, disjoint-union) and related
algorithms such as polygon connectivity graph extraction, offsetting and
map-overlay.  These so-called Boolean algorithms are of significant  
interest in
GIS (Geospatial Information Systems), VLSI CAD as well al other fields  
of CAD,
and many more application areas, and providing them is the primary  
focus of this
library.  The polygon library is not intended to cover all of  
computational
geometry in its scope, and provides a set of capabilities for working  
with
coordinates, points, intervals and rectangles that are needed to support
implementing and interacting with polygon data structures and
