Mori-san,

Many thanks for the background and present
status of PostLBS and its relation to
pgRouting.

Interesting that you are working on something
similar to ZOO (capital O's). Hope we can discuss
possible collaborations. Also look forward to
the release of you WebAPI at FOSS4G.

Best regards

Venka
