However to be bad a bit, i really look forward for someone who can invent a new projection for his own pospose :-) Maybe. It will be never used by no one, not even for survey the back yard garden :) Maybe bottom of my aquarium ? it wouldn be serious one at all. But than, e.g if i invent one wich i think fit perfect for some land i will look forward anyway for someone's help to certificate at all it, since i will not be able to claim it is functional and better and more precise than i dont know wich one particulary. And if its about certificate it probably i go EPSG to help me out. Maybe its similar with encryption algorithms, where olso is pretty difficult to come out these days with a new one, and claim its performance and usability in some ways. I still can use my early high scool one invented "reverse mixing of ABC letters" TM at all, but probably just for send out mail to my girlfriend :-D Just my +.5 cent opinion, i still think here is very low interest to alter EPSG and make derivative work out of it. It see total nonsense in real world. > > If we can get that, we can include the EPSG dataset in Fedora. :) Would be great ! > ~spot > > > -- Balint Cristian (Red Hat Release Engineering Team)
