I'm not sure a *Dutch* government report says something about
*European* developments. Of course, after the football world cup final
next Sunday, things could be different ...<br>

<div>I think there are a few reasons:</div>

</div>
<div>1) Java fits in better with existing IT infrastructures</div>
<div>2) Geoserver's strong and ongoing support for WFS, especially
the application schemas, which are needed for INSPIRE</div>
<div>3) The admin tool</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I think you can probably also read some of the reasons of why
the Dutch government chose Geoserver, around page 46 in the following
document (it also contains a section on Mapserver):</div>

<div>Hi Bart,<br>
<br>
I saw that you tweeted the following this morning:<br>
<br>
"bartvdeijnden: #Geoserver is superseding #Mapserver at least here in<br>
Europe and I am starting to switch mentally as well (as an early adopter<br>
of Mapserver)"<br>
<br>
Would you care to please elaborate on the reasons you see for this, and<br>
perhaps guide us on what we can do to help this situation?<br>
<br>
I can't imagine that the slower pace of new developments and releases of<br>
the last year or two is the only reason for that (or is it?). Your<br>
feedback and thoughts would be much welcome.<br>
<br>
Daniel<br>
