This would be Martin Davis, Yuri Bychkov, and Paul Ramsey.  But, its 
open source, so its really a community process.  If you have suggestions 
- just post them to the list.

Excellent!

Personally, I'm not too concerned about returning copies of object or 
the actual object (Although the latter has a big efficiency plus.).  We 
just need to be consistent and explicit.

I think PostGIS is the only real application using GEOS at the moment - 
and I'm willing to modify the POSTGIS->GEOS and GEOS->POSTGIS converters 
if necessary.

I'm actually really quite impressed with GEOS in PostGIS. I've been 
doing quite a bit of actual processing and checking using it!  Its so 
much easier to write simple SQL instead of Java (or worse C++) code to 
check data or actually process stuff.

Kudos to everyone involved!
