[MetaCRS] Fwd: [ol3-dev] proj4js

[Michael Adair]

Hi Andreas,

I started a version that would compile with the Closure compiler in 
advanced mode, as well as removing all the asynchronous loading stuff, 
and this is at http://svn.osgeo.org/metacrs/proj4js/branches/closure.  I 
did see Eric's reply to my query about it a while ago but haven't gotten 
much farther than I was a that point.

I would be happy to have some help improving the library and I would 
still like to be involved and contribute, but for a move to github I 
would also ask for someone to take over leadership of the project, since 
an old fart like me is still having issues figuring out github (at least 
until I can use it actively in a project).

Thanks for taking this on,

Mike
