Hi Matt,
I apologize,

Hi Tom

and few words before you stated - that retopo will work on simple
submeshes - correct?
then - algo, which was donated might be used as well it is fast as can be seen.
so here is a question to select appropriate algo.

so rohith was intended to use pen to outline simplified area, after he
finished integration into blender,
and it is inappropriate - how do you know? because

Hi Tim

could you please elaborate?
the workflow of pen is following - a shape is drawn and is filled
with triangles.
there could be two cases
1) just plain surface,
2) a surface in 3D
in case of plain surface - it seems not of much
Sergey,
those papers have nothing to do with the current proposal.

I don't think the quad dominant remeshing is likely to provide much

Hi Alice,
I'd recommend starting with the developers quickstart guide
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:2.5/Doc/Developers_Quickstart
see if you can get blender built on your platform of choice.
stop by #blendercoders on irc.freenode.net if you have any difficulties.
The relevant code

Hi Alice,
I am not a developer and so I cannot help with the documentation or API but
I did want to say that if you need any feedback during the project on the
tool behavior, workflow, etc then let me know. I have spent a significant
amount of time with the current retopology tools and tested out
Pen tool would be a great addition! I surely hope this proposal gets accepted!
