[OSM-talk] GSoC 2012 - Regarding CycleStreets Projects

[Graham Jones]

Hi Pryanka,
I had not realised that the router was not currently open source - this
will need to be sorted out to use this as the base for a GSoC project -
hopefully the author of Cyclestreets will sort this very soon?

Regards


Graham.
