[Proj] Relationship between proj4 and spatialreference.org

[Howard Butler]

Milo,

It is indeed waiting on a hands-on volunteer to invest some time in bringing it forward. Funding would be nice too, but developer time from someone familiar with Django, GDAL/OGR, and OpenLayers would make things go the farthest. Contact me privately if you're interested in getting the keys to the kingdom to do that work.

These have not been refreshed in at least a couple of years -- time for more than one EPSG database drop and the inclusion of datum shifting description in proj.4.
