if MapServer had a fediverse presence. Do we? Our website still
mentions a Twitter/X account. Do we still want to "promote" that <s>somewhat</s> questionable platform... ? (I'm not even able to see what's going
on it, having killed my own account). Not that I'm volunteering to
be the manager of a fediverse MapServer account, but that might be
a good idea to have one to show we are still there and proud ;-)<br></p><p>Even<br></p><pre class="qt-moz-signature" cols="72">--
