<p>Hi Julian,</p>
<p>It sounds like proj4php has good foundations, and would be a
candidate for being an OSGeo project in a few years, but is still
a bit young to be ready for OSGeo Incubation.</p>
<p>I suggest a better checklist to look at is the OSGeo Graduation
Checklist. This is what you would be aiming for if you wished to
complete graduation.</p>

<p>Cheers, Cameron<br>

<div>Hi Jody,<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>I really appreciate your help !<br>
<br>
</div>
However, it depends on what a mentor should be ! Does an
osgeo member can be a mentor ?<br>
I eventually know Thomas Bonfort by the past. He is a
committer and PSC member of MapServer. I am going to ask
him.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>By the way, I am starting to make proj4php as a community
project !<br>

<div>Thanks Julien - have been collecting some
applications on the osgeo issue tracker for incubation.
Curently it can be tricky to find a mentor for new
projects (or in this case new to OSGeo proejcts) - did
you have a mentor in mind?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I would encourage you to apply as an OSGeo "<a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_Community_Projects"
target="_blank">community project</a>" - it is a
faster way to be included in OSGeo (as it does not
require finding a suitable mentor</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Aside: We really should revise this list of
application questions - thinks like the question on
"infrastructure" was from the time when OSGeo svn was
considered more cool then source forge CVS for version
control.</div>

<div>Dear OSGeo members, Mr Garnett,<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>As you may know, proj4php is an open
source project, started in 2009, and
recently hosted on github : <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://github.com/proj4php/proj4php"
target="_blank"><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/proj4php/proj4php">https://github.com/proj4php/proj4php</a></a><br>
This is not a huge project, but we got a
tiny community to be grown. <br>
<br>
In order to describe our project, here is
answers for questions from this page :<br>

<div> > Please describe your Project.
<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>Proj4php is a php library for geographic
coordinates transformation using proj4
definitions</div>
<div><br>
> Why is hosting at OSGeo good for your
project?
<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>Most of library using proj4 definitions
are hosted at OSGeo. It gives the project
more sens for the users, and more
visibility.<br>

library, etc.):

release?
<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>The 1.0 stands for old releases (php
under 5.2), and the 2.0 releases are the
latests.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
> What is the origin of your project
(commercial, experimental, thesis or other
higher education, government, or some other
source)?
<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>Proj4php gets its origin as I was stuck
on delay on a php project with strong
hosting constraints. I translated proj4js in
php, and set its source code open the same
night.<br>
</div>
<div>Then a little community started to grow.
Winne27, nickolanack, judgej made real good
work on proj4php to develop it and help
others to use it. <br>

standards? Which ones and to what extent?
(OGC, w3c, ect.) <br>

</div>
<div>We are 3 people to help others to fix
their problems or answering questions on
proj4php.<br>
</div>
<div><br>

the source code respository?
<br>

<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>Github tells there is 48 unique cloners

downloads the last 30 days on packagist.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
