[openstreetmap-website] Official Road Routing via multiple providers (#381)

[osmned]

Good thing to see the support for having routing on osm.org.

"As far as I know, the current plan is for OSM to run their own OSRM based server and potentially other routing engines, let the end user choose which one to use"

I can imagine some quality standards to be applied, such as from this list http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Routing/OnlineRouters, before routing engines are allowed on our main page. Like worldwide coverage, daily updates, active development, routing for car/bike/foot, speed and turn restrictions. Setting these quality standards can also be an incentive for developers to improve their routers. Is someone within OSM currently responsible for/thinking of setting these quality standards for routers? If not, than I would be glad to assist.
