I would like to achieve agreement on some basics for a sane collaboration
environment, and avoid shuffling repositories between organizations. So if
you can't wait to dive into the code, you can fork
http://github.com/ahocevar/proj4js/, because this is the svn clone I'm
going to push to either the proj4js or the metacrs org once it's decided.

Andreas.
