Good evening,

I’m pleased to announce that I’ve just registered [CGAL.jl](https://github.com/rgcv/CGAL.jl), a package that aptly maps a series of types and functionality from [CGAL](https://www.cgal.org) (Computational Geometry Algorithms Library), a C++ library, to Julia.

I’ve been hammering away for quite a while now, trying to bring CGAL types, functions, and algorithms to julia for my sake. Henceforth, I’d like to make it easily available for anyone and everyone who would be interested in using it.

It currently makes available most, if not all, linear kernel objects, some circular/spherical functionality, and a few packages (2D Convex Hulls, 2D Triangulations, Voronoi Diagram adaptor, Principal Component Analysis), albeit some not entirely mapped due to some technical limitations, along with intellectual ones (I’m not that smart of a cookie). Documentation is relatively lacking, only having some reference docs available. Future work, I suppose.

Any and all feedback, criticism, and contributions are welcome!
