[MetaCRS] Fwd: [ol3-dev] proj4js

[Calvin Metcalf]

I'm going to start opening issues on github for the various things that
Andreas and I mentioned so we can discus them there.  Also if people are
unfamiliar with the build tools I set up, grunt (http://gruntjs.com/) is
the task runner and Uglify2 (https://github.com/mishoo/UglifyJS2) via this
grunt plugin (https://github.com/gruntjs/grunt-contrib-uglify) is being
used to minify.
