News on public transit routing in GNOME Maps

So, this time there's not any fancy new screenshots to showcase…

I've been updating the otp-updater project adding support for storing a configuration so that the script could be run without pointing out the list of GTFS feeds and path to the OpenTripPlanner wrapper script (for re-generating graphs) straight from the command line.
I also added a little README and a sample configuration and feed list so that hopefully it should be a little easier, should someone want to try this out in conjunction with the https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-maps/log/?h=wip/mlundblad/transit-routing transit routing WIP branch.

Meanwhile, Andreas Nilsson has been busy making some user interviews and compiled a set of user stories.

Looking forward to see some nice mockups to set my teeth into now :-)
