Earlier this week, I mentioned that GDAL might be beating MapGuide as an early adopter of the newly open-sourced CS-Map coordinate transformation library.
Well, this evening a new RFC was presented to the MapGuide project steering committee to replace PROJ.4 with CS-Map. Guess I was wrong about the beating part… but am still very happy about the joining 
I’d imagine that this took a bit of work, but Autodesk MapGuide Enterprise has always used CS-Map, so most of the code was probably already sitting there waiting to go. I’m a little sad to see PROJ.4 replaced, and have some questions about compatibility with existing installs, but this has always been one of our pain points integrating MapGuide Open Source with other corporate applications (FME, Autodesk Map, etc) that used CS-Map. It will be great to see this problem go away.
