[pgrouting-dev] GSoC proposal - public transport in pgrouting

[Kishore Kumar]

Hi,

Sorry it took a little long to draft my project proposal as I had to do
house shifting and am using mobile internet connection. I submitted my
project proposal using the Google melange platform and can be found here:
http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/proposal/review/google/gsoc2011/justjkk/1.
Please comment on how I can refine my proposal. Thanks.
