[pgrouting-users] Today in the discussion forum: demo down

[Milo van der Linden]

I have written a small SQL procedure to get openstreetmap data 
"pgrouting-ready" is there a wiki somewhere where I can post the 
methodology?

It would, in my opinion, ease the demonstrations of what is possible 
with pgrouting.

Recently, I co-wrote a yournavigation (http://www.yournavigation.org/) 
API for the openstreetmap community, it should not be so hard to rewrite 
the server-side to fit pgrouting, again, this would be a great boost for 
demonstration purposes.
