[Open-transport] API for Deutsche Bahn Fernverkehr schedules

[Pieter Colpaert]

I'm afraid I have to agree with Stefan here: this will even hurt the 
international open transport scene as it sets a wrong example.

Message to DB: I'm available for hire through my university (Ghent 
University/iMinds) as a research-consultant in publishing transport 
data, Stefan is also available as a freelancer, and plenty of others on 
this mailing list are as well. We would be more than glad to help you 
out with our experience.

General idea for the open transport mailing list: should we create a 
list of things we expect from open transport publishers? E.g., we can 
all agree we want GTFS in the first place, in the second we want a good 
GTFS (with optional files such as shapes.txt included), then we also 
want a GTFS-RT. Anything else?

Kind regards,

Pieter
