Hi Even,
I agree with you assessment. So the question now is would you like to:
Write a project overview and quickstart from proj4?
How to write it is described here:
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Add_Project#Documentation
(The wiki text is a bit old, it references svn instead of git. Feel free
to correct)
Do ask questions if you have any.
Warm regards, Cameron

Regarding what is listed currently in metacrs :
- proj4js: no opinion
- cs-map: no-opinion
- geotiff/libgeotiff: heavily used underneath by GDAL in particular,
mostly in maintaince mode, but can be treated as a technical
dependency that doesn't require to be visible from users.
- proj4j: no opinion
- spatialreference.org: not maintained in years. http://epsg.io/ would
be a possible replacement
Agreed that metacrs is probably a bit too ... meta for folks exploring
OSGeo-Live content, so it could make sense exposing proj.4 as a
standalone project.
