[PROJ] proj4.org -> proj.org migration

[Kristian Evers]

This is fantastic news! Thank you guys for working on this. Definitely a +1 from me. Although I don’t think an RFC is needed - this is in line with the rebranding to PROJ that’s been ongoing for a couple of years already.

I agree that a redirect from proj4.org <http://proj4.org/> is necessary. This would also be a good occasion to rename the GitHub repository from proj.4 to PROJ. According to [0] any old links will be redirected to the new URL of the repository.

The domain has been transferred to the OSGeo registrar and is currently in finalization at this time. Once that is complete (in the next few days), we can begin our transition from proj4.org <http://proj4.org/> to proj.org <http://proj.org/> if the PSC is supportive of such a migration. I know I am!

Hopefully the transition does not need to be any rougher than that. If we need an RFC and vote to do this, someone chime in and we can do so, but I think the sentiment is we've wanted proj.org <http://proj.org/> all along and we are very glad to get it.
