Things which require manual intervention are not ideal though. We don't have a staff of full time administrators in a position to monitor and adjust things like that. >> Well if somebody can provide a backend that returns a GPX or KML or >> something then I'm sure >> somebody will hack up the rails port to be able to display those routes. > > You can look at the current "cgi" spec.

Not that we'll be using sed or awk of course, but that doesn't matter so long as there is something. All we need now is a volunteer to run the server in the way that Brian does for the geocoding server. I would also add that I'm aware of at least one other candidate for the job of providing a routing solution so I'm not sure exactly where we will go from here but it is certainly something I would expect to see being addressed soon.
