But more importantly it would give us a forum to cooperate. Sharing things like coordinate system dictionaries, test suites and mathematical formulations.

Sub-projects

The following are sub-projects of MetaCRS:

• PROJ.4 – lead – Frank Warmerdam
• Proj4js – lead – Mike Adair
• CS-Map – lead – Hugues Wisiewski
• GeoTIFF/libgeotiff – lead – Frank Warmerdam
