At present this is very much a 'toy' project, though the aim is I hope
sensible. As you'll see, it's currently in l3trial (not sent to CTAN) as
it's not really usable. I'm hopeful that I can get something able to do
simple line diagrams sorted relatively quickly: I did the underlying
driver code some time ago.
You'll probably pick up from the commit messages that the code is
more-or-less pgf rewritten in expl3, though of course picking up on the
team approach/tools. The plan is to try to be interface-compatible with
pgfm or at least close to. That *may* allow these functions to be used
with TikZ with some appropriative 'glue'.
My plan is to move things to l3experimental once I can actually make
some kind of diagrams. Note that everything here is going to be entirely
experimental: I'm not even sure if 'draw' is the right module name!
