[OSGeo-Discuss] Anyone interested in geocoding and routing?

[John Callahan]

 From another perspective, people I work with have very accurate address 
and street data for our area (several counties in our state.)  This 
project definitely would be beneficial to us.  Having accurate data for 
small to medium-sized areas is probably not uncommon.
