<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">Hello all,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">I am calling upon your Open Source expertise. I'm currently working on an online [censored] map for a community project. I am trying to find the right map server or web map
services that would enables us to make the most of this project. I feel a little overhelmed with all the different options online and thought you could maybe make a few recommendations.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">Here are some more details on what I am looking for.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">At its most basic, I look for a server that enables to see georeferenced features on a basemap, click on a feature to display more information and also edit information. Ideally
I am looking for a mapserver supporting WFS, enabling the display of multiple layers (that could be switched on/off) supporting simple queries ( intersect, buffer) and maybe also enabling links and photos.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">Unfortunately there are two main constraints: my limited knowledge in programming (I only know a little python and no java whatsoever) and user-friendliness of the finished
platform is essential as it is aimed to local communities with limited computer skills.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif""><br>
Merci,<br>
