"notes" (or "additional_information") attribute for ellipsoid classes #179

Closed MarkWieczorek closed 3 months ago

MarkWieczorek commented 3 months ago

Description of the desired feature: For some ellipsoids, providing a reference might not be enough information to understand the origin of the data in the ellipsoid classes and how to use them. For example:

I propose that we simply add an optional attribute to the 3 ellipsoid classes called "notes" (or perhaps "additional_information") that allows one to add an arbitrary text string with additional information.

edit: Maybe comments would be better.

Are you willing to help implement and maintain this feature?
