[Live-demo] [Proj] Fwd: [OSGeo-Live] Proj4 documentation

[Cameron Shorter]

Hi Even,

I agree with you assessment. So the question now is would you like to:

Write a project overview and quickstart from proj4?

How to write it is described here:

https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Add_Project#Documentation

(The wiki text is a bit old, it references svn instead of git. Feel free 
to correct)

Do ask questions if you have any.

Warm regards, Cameron
