Hi, I was already making a library that does various geo-services like routing, POI and other geo-information (pictures, wikipedia). I also experimented with geocoding/reverse geocoding using Nominatim and GeoNames. I was wondering if we could combine all this and make a general library for geo-services for example called "geoclue-services". I will try to put the my code up during the weekend and then we can see what can be done with this. I am using Vala for this - using C is to verbose for such things. So what do you think?
