[erlang-questions] [ANN] euuid 1.0.0 - an erlang UUID implementation

[Juan Jose Comellas]

Is there a formal procedure to submit new modules to OTP? I am the author of
one implementation of getopt that some people are using and I'd like to
submit it to be included in OTP. Are there any conditions that have to be
met besides those of licensing and how useful it is?
