I also learned what I know of PL/pgSQL by modifying the wrappers and I<br>
would have had a really hard time implementing the 'edge splitting' on<br>
my own. So I'm really grateful I found the wrappers. On the other hand<br>
the wrapper I used wasn't even included in pgrouting, so I guess we'd be<br>
safe to have them outside the distribution, either in the docs or as an<br>
external download.<br>

Daniel and I have discussed adding a contrib directory, but then we get a lot of stuff, that we don't know if it work with the current release. I think we would be more inclined to have a wiki page that links to 3rd party github projects or have a tips and tricks wiki page. The ideal situation is that we link to a page the you maintain because that de-clutters the pgrouting maintained pages and files.</blockquote>
<div><br></div><div style>The idea of the "pgrouting-contrib" repository was to provide a place for a collection of user-contributed wrapper functions.</div><div style>But as you can see, the repository has been mostly inactive and there was no second wrapper added ever to the initial one.</div>

<div style><br></div><div style>I don't want to maintain the current (arbitrary) wrapper functions just to have some examples, but I know that it is difficult to find good resources about writing in pl/pgsql, and it's usually best to learn from good examples.</div>
<div style>Right now I think that having some useful recipes and code snippets in the documentation would be best. And we could start the list of "Gists" with a few good wrapper examples, and then hope that more people will contribute with even better examples.</div>
