[mapguide-users] MapGuide Open Source Web Studio

Andrew,

Webstudio is in a trunk of the mapguide svn. You can get it with a command like:

svn checkout https://mapguide.osgeo.org/svn/mapguide/branches/1.0.x/MgDev/Web/src/webstudio/
webstudio_svn --username <osgeo-username>

It should run out of the box against any 1.0.0+ server, assuming you
put it in a web accessible directory and your machine has php 4.4 or
better installed.
