[PROJ] Motion: Migrate proj.org to ReadTheDocs

[Kristian Evers]

I’m changing my vote to a +1 as well. Thanks for clearing up the details. Let’s get proj.org <http://proj.org/> moved to RTD once the payment follows through.

When the motion passes, we will simply move the pointer to proj.org <http://proj.org/> The deployment currently has RTD's ad network enabled, but this will be removed once the sponsorship purchase process completes its move through OSGeo. The migration to RTD brings us some useful benefits such as documentation rendering in PRs, convenient multi-versioned doc hosting, and a reduction of our volunteer time consumed by documentation system management.
