Djèlil Chafaï <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License: 
Package: Random Template Library
System name: rtl
Type: non-GNU

Description:
Project name: RTL = Random Template Library.

Goal: provide a flexible and high quality GPL C++ template library for random 
numbers generation.

Motivation: good quality random numbers generators are mostly commercial 
software (Mathworks, etc), or random/incomplete pieces of software! Random 
numbers generators are widely used in applied sciences, and it\'s really 
important to provide a free high quality software doing that.

Why C++: because it\'s a powefull language, enough abstract, and highly 
portable with the last versions of g++.

Who am I: a young researcher in probability theory and statistics,
currently doing a postdoc at Oxford University UK. Working also for
the INRA in France. Homepage http://www.lsp.ups-tlse.fr/Chafai/

Project size: relatively small, but collaboration wanted. 

Random ideas: Mersene twister for uniform distribution, Marsaglia method for 
continuous distributions like normals, exponentials etc. Stream based 
generators. Generic generators.

Code: not yet.
