To be honest there is no real </div><div>progress to report after close to 4 years in incubation. The project is </div><div>not actively working on going through incubation, but then I have not </div><div>been pinging them about this either so it would be hard to blame them.</div></div></div></span></blockquote><div>Can you invite a representative of MetaCRS to the incubation meeting then (perhaps as a subtle reminder about the process) and</div><div>we can see if we can sort out something that will work for the project.</div><blockquote type="cite" style="border-left-style:solid;border-width:1px;margin-left:0px;padding-left:10px;">MetaCRS is a special case as it actually regroups several projects<span><div><div><div>dealing with coordinate reference system support, so this project is in </div><div>large part about sharing expertize, maybe even more than just code.</div></div></div></span></blockquote><div>Something may consist of asking them to reform as a committee rather then a project; even if they happen to have some code on the side.</div><blockquote type="cite" style="border-left-style:solid;border-width:1px;margin-left:0px;padding-left:10px;">CRS libs are a key part of every piece of OSGeo software and I consider<span><div><div><div>that it is important to get them through incubation at some point, so I </div><div>would advise keeping them in incubation at this point despite the lack </div><div>of progress.</div></div></div></span></blockquote><div>Agreed; no suden moves on our end either :-)</div><div><br></div><div>But at the same time I would love to free you up as a volunteer to help projects</div><div>that are willing to work at the incubation process.</div><blockquote type="cite" style="border-left-style:solid;border-width:1px;margin-left:0px;padding-left:10px;"><span><div><div><div>Hopefully when Frank (MetaCRS PSC chair) comes back we can talk about </div><div>getting the project back on track with incubation.</div></div></div></span></blockquote><div>Frank has expressed some confusion about how to proceed with MetaCRS previously (based on the same observation that it a group of several projects). But yeah with both of you on hand I imagine we can sort something out. </div><blockquote type="cite" style="border-left-style:solid;border-width:1px;margin-left:0px;padding-left:10px;"><span><div><div><div>More about MetaCRS here:</div><div><a href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/MetaCRS">http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/MetaCRS</a></div></div></div></span></blockquote><div>Cheers!</div><div>Jody</div>
