= OpenRouter/pgRouting 2011 SOC Ideas  =

Enter ideas for development projects here. '''Note these are just suggestions - students are welcome to propose projects based on their own interests''' that relate to OpenRouter/pgRouting. Our current efforts are based on the following projects: 

* [http://www.pgrouting.org/ pgRouting]. This routing library provides routing functionality to PostGIS/PostgreSQL.
* [http://opengraphrouter.sourceforge.net/ OpenGraphRouter]. This project is a C++ library and tools to build a commercial grade routing engine.

You can find the source code, tutorials, the project mailing list and various other information at the links above.
