The coordinate projective line over a field is seen as a groupoid with a further `projection' structure. We investigate conversely to what extent such an, abstractly given, groupoid may be coordinatized by a suitable field constructed out of the geometry.
Keywords: projective geometry, groupoids, geometric algebra
