Welcome to the CGAL public wiki!

This wiki is a resource for developers of the Computational Geometry Algorithms Library (CGAL). Here, you will find a variety of information to help you navigate CGAL. The wiki is divided into the following key sections:

• General information of interest, such as the CGAL mailing lists or important information.
• Developer resources: developer-focused documentation providing guidelines for contributing to CGAL, either by designing new packages, or maintaining / enhancing existing ones.
• Maintainer resources: advanced documentation aimed at the CGAL developers who handle releases and infrastructure.

To explore these sections in more detail, please refer to the sidebar.

Other useful resources:

• https://www.cgal.org/: the website of the CGAL project
• https://doc.cgal.org/: the documentation of CGAL packages (including user-oriented guides)
• https://cgal.geometryfactory.com/CGAL/Members/wiki: the internal CGAL developer wiki
