Hi,<div><br></div><div>Thank you for your interest in supporting pgRouting through GSoC!</div><div><a href="http://busroutes.in">busroutes.in</a> looks very interesting and indeed public transport routing requires some multi-modal routing algorithm, that pgRouting doesn't have (yet). </div>
<div><br></div><div>The goal of pgRouting is to provide functions for various network analysis problems. They shouldn't be limited to a certain use case or a certain data source. But of course many users of pgRouting use OpenStreetMap like <a href="http://busroutes.in">busroutes.in</a> does.</div>
<div><br></div><div>There is no particular IRC channel for pgRouting. For GSoC in OSGeo people use the general #osgeo chat room, and you can ask questions regarding GSoC there, I think. Personally I turned off chat and other stuff these days, because I need to concentrate on some project.</div>
<div><br></div><div>So feel free to share and discuss your ideas on this list or use the Google Melange platform for your proposal. It allows students and mentors to comment a project proposal as well.</div><div><br></div>
<div>Best regards,</div><div>Daniel</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">2011/3/26 Kishore Kumar <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:justjkk@gmail.com">justjkk@gmail.com</a>></span><br>

<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I am J Kishore kumar, an undergraduate student from Chennai, India. I am an opensource enthusiast and am part of the developer team of <a href="http://busroutes.in" target="_blank">busroutes.in</a>[1][2] which is an ongoing project using openstreetmap and postgis. I am eager to participate in GSoC. I looked at the source code of pgrouting and osm2pgrouting for last couple of days familiarising myself with the software structure, functionalities and editing pieces of it[3].( and a growing impulse to use pgrouting in the <a href="http://busroutes.in" target="_blank">busroutes.in</a> project).</p>
<p>I would like to implement the public transport related aspects in pgrouting(like changeovers and identifying different modes of travel) as a GSoC project. Is it possible to discuss about this on an IRC channel(#pgrouting)? I will try to draft a schedule and share it soon. Please let me know what you think about it.</p>
<p>Thanks & Regards,<br>
J Kishore kumar.<br>
