Hi Cameron,<div><br></div><div>Thank you for the review! About the "Implemented Standards" I wasn't sure it is a necessary part of the template or not. But you're right, it's not necessary for pgRouting.</div>

Daniel,<br>
Thank you for your pgRouting Overview docs. Your docs are good and I've
only made minor comments, mainly reducing words, hopefully without
removing meaning.<br>
I did comment out the "Implemented Standards" section, as it seems that
pgRouting doesn't make use of specific OGC standards.<br>
<br>
I've committed changes back into svn. The results are below. Please
review and update if I've made mistakes.<br>
<h1>pgRouting<a href="?ui=2&ik=569523816d&view=att&th=12a18f9b9ea59333&attid=0.0.1.1&disp=emb&zw" title="Permalink to this headline" target="_blank">¶</a></h1>
<h2>GIS Tools<a href="?ui=2&ik=569523816d&view=att&th=12a18f9b9ea59333&attid=0.0.1.2&disp=emb&zw" title="Permalink to this headline" target="_blank">¶</a></h2>
<p>pgRouting extends the <a href="?ui=2&ik=569523816d&view=att&th=12a18f9b9ea59333&attid=0.0.1.3&disp=emb&zw" target="_blank">PostGIS</a>/<a href="http://www.postgresql.org" target="_blank">PostgreSQL</a>
geospatial database to provide geospatial routing functionality.</p>
<p>Advantages of the database routing approach are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Data and attributes can be modified by many clients, like <a href="?ui=2&ik=569523816d&view=att&th=12a18f9b9ea59333&attid=0.0.1.4&disp=emb&zw" target="_blank">Quantum
GIS</a> and <a>uDig</a>
through JDBC, ODBC, or directly using Pl/pgSQL. The clients can either
be PCs or mobile devices.</li>
<li>Data changes can be reflected instantaneously through the routing
engine. There is no need for precalculation.</li>
<li>The “cost” parameter can be dynamically calculated through SQL
and its value can come from multiple fields or tables.</li>
</ul>
