Hello,

For a personal project I had to create a library of cartesian and polar  
coordinates. Is anyone else interested in this code? If so I’ll try to  
turn  
it in to a library and release it on rubyforge.  
Just my way of saying thanks for Ruby, this turns out to be a really  
nice  
language!

Regards,  
Bart

Hi -

“It’s easier to ask for forgiveness than it is to ask for permission”  
… so, if I were you I’d just do it :-).

Cheers.

Indeed, this is so true. In this case, the usefulness can’t necessarily  
be determined by those who see this notice right now, but by those who  
find it later on rubyforge and thank you for it.

You are probably right there. I’ll throw it on rubyforge when I have  
transformed the code into a library.
