Hello Daniel,
Nice to see activity, I'm sorry I woke up to these project so late, I
hope it isn't too late...

Very good. :)

That is true. And as of now we still only have 4 proposals, but I have
had contact with 3 students who will be submitting their proposals soon.

Due to time constrains I recommend that you clone the OpenGeocoder page
for Openrouter and just add the ideas. There are just hints on what we'd
like the students to consider, not an official list of projects that the
student is limited to. So it doesn't have to be very formal either.

Those sound very good as for scope and complexity for SoC.
