<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I am forwarding a request for additional 3-4 days of funding for
proj6 related issues and fixes from Nyall. We still have funding
available, so I would recommend to support this work.</p>
<p>Feedback from PSC?</p>
<p>Thanks,<br>
Andreas<br>

Hi Andreas,<br>
<br>
I'm not sure what the situation is with the remaining <a href="http://qgis.org" target="_blank">qgis.org</a>
surplus<br>
for the year, but if there's still money to be spent I think
there's<br>
need for 3-4 days doing follow up work and bug fixes around
projection<br>
and datum transform handling with the QGIS + proj 6 combination.<br>
<br>
The high-priority tasks as I see them are:<br>
- triage outstanding bug reports between qgis, gdal and proj, and<br>
identify the underlying issue and responsible library, and
coordinate<br>
fixes (or fix directly in qgis!)<br>
- allow users to define custom projections using a wkt string
instead<br>
of just proj strings. Proj string definitions of crs are highly<br>
discouraged in the proj 6+ world, as these are lossly and cannot
fully<br>
encapsulate a CRS. We need a way for users to define custom<br>
projections using wkt strings, and for the QGIS UI to push them<br>
towards this (but still allow proj strings if needed)<br>
- expose the choice of datum transform/coordinate operation used<br>
inside the Processing vector transform algorithm, allowing users
to<br>
explicitly select which transform pathway they want to use for
that<br>
particular transformation (and allow user created models to also<br>
expose this option to users when desired)<br>
<br>
Keen to hear your thoughts!<br>
Nyall<br>
