Hi,
A barn raising to improve coordinate system abilities in GDAL, libgeotiff, and
PROJ has been
publicly launched today. You can find more details about the proposal, its
current sponsors
and technical information at:
https://gdalbarn.com
The hightlights of the planned work are:
* migration for CSV support data to a SQLite database shared between projects,
offering
more capabilities
* WKT2 support: increased interoperability between implementations. better
ground for
definitions, especially in areas such as axis, vertical control, and epochs
* end of WGS84 as a compulsory datum pivot, to be replaced by "late-binding"
transformations that PROJ.5 now allows.
We are currently at 2/3 of the final funding goal. If your software and
projects benefit from
the GDAL, libgeotiff and PROJ stack, this is your chance to concretely help in
its future
improvements.
Best regards,
Howard Butler
