Hi linuxfreebird,

I followed your conversation and it seems to me that the msh project
could benefit with contributions from somebody with your expertise and
interest.
Would you like to re-define your contributions to make the msh package
better? It would be awesome to have a meshing package fast, compatible
and extendable.
I think you are not "obsolete", not at all, I am sure we have needs
for your skills.

Do you have other ideas you could work on?

@Carlo: How good are we for calculating Voronoi diagrams?

Is there any extension we need here?
