There is funding available to make this happen.

See http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/%E2%82%AC15.000_Funding_for_Software_Development_-_Proposal

We could actually do it like this - to get a number of dedicated  
developers together for a weekend / week and make this happen.

I could organise it but I would need someone to oversee the project  
from a technical perspective and help me set up a technical project  
description for the funding organisation, NLNet.

Would you help me set it up, Frederik?

Who would like to participate? TomH? RichardF?
