Thanks, I have been away for a bit - it looks like the page is not yet
published by another committee member either.
Looking above we have your request, but it was held up by this page being
published?
- Marking it as just a normal project (not a community project until a
motion is made and voted on)
- I am a bit confused by standard "ISO" but not naming a specific
standard ... I guess you needed to added SO 19107 those as new "standards"
to be listed.
I have hit publish https://www.osgeo.org/projects/sfcgal/ please review
