[RouterGeocoder] Re: My Plan about OpenRouter SoC

[Stephen Woodbridge]

Roni,

I think this sounds like a plan that we would all like to see succeed. I 
think is sounds aggressive, but knowing that you want to continue 
working on it beyond the SoC project, I believe that you will achieve it.

I look forward to working with you and your friend on this project.

With respect to SoC project, please update you project plan to:
1) reflect the plan below
2) make sure you think about your goals and deliverable for SoC, they 
should be achievable and do not need to be everything you plan below
3) and make sure you state that you plan to continue your work after the 
SoC program.

Best regards,
   -Steve
