The OSGeo-Announce mailing list informs us the GeoMoose open source webmapping project has released its version 1.2.0. From the GeoMoose website: "GeoMoose is a Web Client Javascript Framework for displaying distributed cartographic data. Among it's many strengths, it can handle large numbers of mapping layers, all mapping display is abstracted to separate layers. This allows for the abstraction of the maintenance and updating tasks as well.
Since each display layer is abstracted in this fashion, it allows a site administrator to concentrate on running the overall system while leaving the data upkeep and publishing tasks to the respective data custodian. No more hand-off of the data to a "Publisher" is required, the data custodian can handle the publishing tasks on their own, including the frequency of updates." And on the extended page: "[...] GeoMoose is designed around the idea of using Web based URL services as an integration method. [...] GeoMoose is currently built as a front end to MapServer (CGI)." Main recent MapServer stories copied below.

MapServer Versus GeoServer

Fernando Quadro writes "Who is initiating in the development of space solutions is very common the following questioning: Which server of maps is best? MapServer or GeoServer? Looking for to answer this question, I wrote an article showing some of the differences between MapServer and GeoServer." Fernando's points are interesting, I invite readers to see the previous story on choosing between MapServer and MapGuide Open Source and read the informative comments. I also copied a few related stories below.
