that has stalled for quite a while now that hopes to create a
configurable geocoder to use any appropriate user inputed data.

If you get SRC's up on a public web service let me know, I'd love to
do some tests to see if they are handling things that geocoder.us
doesn't.
You mean the one at http://geocoder.us? Yes, that's pretty good
too. I
whined about it not being able to find my address (on 2308 South
St.) and
within a week, somebody (you?) fixed the code and then it could
find me. Gotta
love open source! Problems gets fixed fast. We should definitely
try to
test the SRC tool in the forge of public scrutiny, too!
But there's others too. Daniel Egnor's C-based geocoder (see
http://ofb.net/~egnor/google.html) is worth a look if you can't
deal with
Perl (which I got into before I learned some Perl), and Philip
Holmstrad's
"The Geocoding Blog" (http://batchgeocode.blogspot.com/), the
"voice" of
the (free) Batch Geocoding site at www.batchgeocode.com/ needs a
mention
too. Are there any others in the geocoding game?
I'm sort of curious to determine where the state of the art is at
this
point. I use a fairly expensive commercial geocoder now (MapInfo
MapMarker)
which is rather good, and scales well, but I'd be happy as a pig in a
wallow to find an open source solution just as good that didn't cost
quite so much.
