> This question has been asked in the past. Basically the thought was to provide some sample wrapper functions that people would use as a template for building their solutions. While there are some common features that would be nice to have in the generic wrapper functions like trim the segments to the start and end points and being able to enter two lat/lon's, many of the customizations are problem specific and would not be valuable to others because they are solving a different problem or their data tables are different.<br>

<p>I think it would be nice to have a collection of wrapper examples to learn from. Some recipies or code snippets to start with maybe.</p>
<p>Where do you think would be a good place for that?<br>
The Github Wiki, the pgrouting-contrib repository or somewhere else?<br>
If someone has a time and wants to study plpgsql, writing some recipies and tutorials and share them with the community would be for sure something that person would make many friends ;-)</p>
<p>Due to lack of time andI can't help with writing but I can help with publishing on the pgrouting website.</p>
