GeoTIFF
GeoTIFF represents an effort by over 160 different remote sensing, GIS, cartographic, and surveying related companies and organizations to establish a TIFF based interchange format for georeferenced raster imagery.
Trac was previously used for code and ticket management, but
Since December 2018, creation of new tickets/issues has been moved to https://github.com/OSGeo/libgeotiff/issues
The Subversion repository has been frozen and is no longer updated. Refer to the GitHub link as well for source code
