Not too long… I’d say we’re perhaps a month out (going by my normal track record of attending to this stuff). The last remaining showstopper items that I can remember are:

1. Stripping out all the hbus advertising boilerplate, migrating it to something like Django CMS.
2. Adding documentation and licensing (mostly done already).

Unfortunately the infrastructure behind the site has a rather deep bias towards Canadian geodata, simply because that’s what I’ve been developing against. Getting the site working nicely in other locales is going to take additional work. However, that’s where things sit.

Any ETA on open sourcing the hbus.ca infrastructure? I think I’ve got libroutez working… but it’s hard to be 100% sure without a proven graphical interface

I’ve always maintained that while the iPhone platform is quite nice, it’s not the kind of platform you want to bet a company on. Either Apple holds too much power over a small startup with the possibility of just cutting them off, or they just plain go nuts over something important, and you’re generally screwed, iPhone-wise.

I’ll be honest, I never jumped on the iphone bandwagon, don’t get me wrong, amazing phone, just I couldn’t get sucked into a contract at the time. Hell, I even developed an app for the iphone with @calvinjien and we took 3rd place in a contest at Dalhousie University. I seriously looking forward to the Nexus One, now that I’m in US though I gotta decide whether to go with AT&T or Verison…

If neocoder is written in C++, it’s going to be pretty tough using it in my language of choice.

I eagerly await the chance to play with a local instance of routez! I haven’t done the requisite biking to satisfactorily cover my local transit network (that promised GTFS files in June 2009…) nor the route relations in OpenStreetMap (which I guess you don’t use yet anyway), nor turning the PDFs into yaml… actually, take your time

It’s a laptop icon behind a save icon. Maybe representing backup software?

Is it a monitor with a notebook running in clamshell mode? I have no idea.

Speaking from a position of complete ignorance, I’d say it’s a button to download stuff to your iPod. If that’s correct, that does not mean it’s a good icon, not least because there’s something wrong when a Free Software project has an icon for iPods.
