&lt;div&gt;== Special Announcement ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Open Source Geocoder ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For those not familiar with the concept, Geocoding takes a human readable address and turns it into coordinates.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Project Purpose===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The intention of this project is to work towards creation of open source software providing geocoding capability.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Google Summer of Code Ideas===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We have proposed some ideas for Google Summer of Code projects. You can read more about them [[OpenGeocoder 2009 SOC Ideas]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Design goals===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Desired attributes:&lt;br /&gt;
* Handle international addressing schemes (expected to be pluggable to support internationalization)&lt;br /&gt;
* Library Coded in C (or C wrapper to C++)&lt;br /&gt;
* Architected and designed for performance&lt;br /&gt;
* Abstracted storage to allow for use of data from various sources e.g. shapefiles, RDBMS, others&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Contact information===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Please join us on the [http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/routergeocoder mailing list].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
NOTE: This mailing list is shared between this project and the [http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OpenRouter OpenRouter] project.&lt;br /&gt;
