</ul><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span>GeoMOOSE (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.geomoose.org">www.geomoose.org</a>) is an open source web application framework for displaying geographic data. What makes GeoMOOSE unique is it provides an out-of-the-box solution that makes it easy for non-developers to create web-mapping applications with typical tools such as navigate, search, measure and print. Non-developers only need to be comfortable with configuration files. GeoMOOSE has a number of strengths including modularity, configurability, and delivers a number of core functionalities in its packages. The project has targeted local government business cases to distribute land records information, but many other users have used it for much more. Since GeoMOOSE is open source project it built on other popular open source projects such as OpenLayers (<a target="_blank"
href="http://www.openlayers.org">www.openlayers.org</a>) and MapServer (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.mapserver.org">www.mapserver.org</a>). To get started with GeoMOOSE, simply go to the download page and install the software demo.</span><br><br></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">We are excited to see the inception of this project go from a an application developed by the City of St. Paul, MN to FGDC CAP grant to a robust open source software project used by hundreds of people across the world in the last 3 years. We hope you find the investment made by all the developers a resource to the GIS community. We are excited to see this project grow and we envision continued growth as more and more users find it. We welcome feedback on the GeoMOOSE project and hope you give the software a try.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br></span><span
