[MetaCRS] Proj4J Status

[Frank Warmerdam]

Folks,

I have no problem with projects moving to github when the projects want to.


In the case of Proj4J it seems like a MetaCRS "organization" might be
desirable to represent the way the project governance is setup now -
similar to the shared commiter list on svn for MetaCRS sub-projects.

In this case if Martin is favorable, I'd suggest he raise a motion MetaCRS
about the formal migration of the master repo for Proj4J.

Best regards,
Frank
