+<h2>Plans</h2>
+
+I (<a href="http://gdal.velocet.ca/~warmerda/">Frank Warmerdam</a> - 
+<a href="mailto:warmerda@home.com">warmerda@home.com</a>) 
+have been using PROJ.4 for a number
+of projects of mine.  PROJ.4 has been without maintenance for nearly five
+years now since Gerald Evenden retired.  I have been in contact with him, and
+he has indicated no interest in actively maintaining PROJ.4.<p>
+
+It is my intention for this version (here at remotesensing.org) to be the
+new official version of PROJ.4.  So far I have redone the makefiles and
+configuration mechanism to use automake, autoconf and libtool.  As well as 
+couple of portability fixes have been incorporated.<p>
+
+It is my hope to involve the 
+<a href="http://hgeo02.geog.uni-hannover.de/grass/">GRASS</a>, 
+<a href="http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/">MapServer</a>, 
+and <a href="http://132.156.30.81/iii/">OGDI</a> 
+communities all of which use some version of PROJ.4 though in some cases
+with substantial changes.  I am also using PROJ.4 in my own projects, including
+using it as the basis of <a href="http://www.opengis.org/">OpenGIS</a> inspired
+coordinate transform services.<p>
+
+If you are a user of PROJ.4, and/or are interested in contributing please
+drop me a line and join the mailing list. <p>
