Looks like a nice idea. I am completely unaware of opengraphrouter and its
background. Can we take this discussion to another new thread?

@Stephen and Daniel, can you list out the people who will be willing to
contribute / give desirable time to realise the above idea?

Are planning to divide it into mini projects and float it out for GSoc 2011?
This would surely encourage students to contribute and come up with required
modules provided the mentors are available for guidance.

Are you talking about the APSP code, or the CH code of Geisberger?  APSP
would work with pgRouting readily I guess. It is working as of now, but
still needs some validation checks etc.
