Fair enough - one thing I am interested in is having an API to interact
with a range of geocoder implementations. I know the [EMAIL PROTECTED]
list will remind me of OpenLS - but I am not sure if that has seen any
adoption in the wild (although it looks like their is a new version
comming out with a range of interesting sponsors behind it).
On the opposite end of the street; a simple SOAP API would be a great
starting point (I have a Java API sorted out as well).
Cheers,
Jody

Yes Jody - this has been the common observation that tends to derail
the discussion about even getting good toolsets out there. However, I
would say there is at least "good enough" data to start with to seed
and engine and once there is a need, the available data will get
better.

I always find data is the difficulty when starting a geocoder... am I
missing something?
You will find a good graph module in geotools with route finding etc.

Hi Everyone,
A few of us have been talking and thought the timing might be right to
try and start projects to work on Geocoding and Routing. We're still
gathering information and checking to learn who's interested.
If you are interested, please check out the following wiki's and add your
name in the section you are interested in.
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OpenGeocoder
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OpenRouter
There are experts out there that are far more knowledgeable about
Geocoding and Routing than I am. To these good people: please feel empowered
to make modifications, provide feedback in whatever way you feel most
comfortable.
Thanks,
Andrew
