Has there been any activity on the MetaCRS project [1] over the last few years? The last active ticket I see is from 2013.<br>
<br>
It is listed as one of the projects in OSGeo-Incubation, and I think has been in incubation from close to the start of OSGeo founding?<br>
<br>
Is anyone working on it? And in particular, does anyone doing any work on taking Meta-CRS through incubation?<br>
<br>
I'm wondering whether it should be retired from the incubation process, or maybe the scope of projects it is trying to incubate be reduced?<br>
<br>
I ask in part because we include a description of MetaCRS in OSGeo-Live, but have no point of contact to maintain documentation since Mike Adair has stepped back from OSGeo activities.<br>
