<div dir="ltr">Wow, nice work Mr. Jimenez! This site has been a really useful tool over the years and it's really quite obvious how snappy it is now. Thanks so much!</div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Jan 8, 2024 at 9:34 AM Howard Butler via PROJ <<a href="mailto:proj@lists.osgeo.org">proj@lists.osgeo.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">All,<br>

I would like to congratulate Javier Jimenez for his work to completely refactor <a href="https://spatialreference.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://spatialreference.org</a> <<a href="https://spatialreference.org/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://spatialreference.org/</a>>. First released in 2007, <a href="http://spatialreference.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">spatialreference.org</a> <<a href="http://spatialreference.org/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://spatialreference.org/</a>> was the first website to provide a canonical home for coordinate systems at fixed URL locations that could be referred to by other web infrastructure. Javier took the crusty Django site and completely refactored it to make it work better, be easy to update, and preserved its canonical URL history. Some highlights include:<br>
<br>
* Like <a href="https://crs-explorer.proj.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://crs-explorer.proj.org</a> <<a href="https://crs-explorer.proj.org/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://crs-explorer.proj.org/</a>>, <a href="http://spatialreference.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">spatialreference.org</a> <<a href="http://spatialreference.org/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://spatialreference.org/</a>> is now a statically generated site <br>
* It is fast :)<br>
* It is produced using PROJ. <br>
* It is open source <a href="https://github.com/OSGeo/spatialreference.org/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/OSGeo/spatialreference.org/</a> If you want to host your own internal mirrors, you can run the scripts and build your own deployment<br>
* It will be refreshed at least at the cadence of major PROJ releases (previously had been updated only once or twice in its entire 15+ year history)<br>
* It supports CORS (thanks GitHub Pages) for pulling in PROJJSON or WKT into your web applications<br>
<br>
I hope Javier has more to add about the effort, but I would like to thank him profusely for taking this on and completing it. It is a wonderful update to a widely used community resource.<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
<br>
Howard<br>
