> ... notes on spatialreference.org breaking due to system upgrades on the SAC Projects VM ...

I regret that I might have had a tone that implied whomever made changes to the project machine's django/python was to blame for things breaking. The reality is that spatialreference.org is a nearly six year old django application that has not been updated in more than three years, and it has simply atrophied in the face of the continuing march of progress. In short, it badly needs an update. Unfortunately, sr.org is one of those things that people love to use, but attracts no developer attention to love. Maybe it is time to decommission it with a note stating that it needs developer resources to bring it forward.
