[mapserver-users] RE: simplicity

[Puneet Kishor]

I was reading an interview of Jordan Hubbard (see
http://www.pioneerplanet.com/tech/ctk_docs/207182.htm). Here's the last
para...

"Hubbard insists that the Macintosh will get open-source software to
consumers' desktops faster than all the open-source software projects ever
dreamed up over a six-pack of Jolt Cola. When he worked on FreeBSD, Hubbard
knew his work would be appreciated only by a handful of fellow geeks. 

"In the Apple space," he says, "I can do things I can explain to my mother."
This, come to think of it, is a good principle for would-be world
conquerors: Keep it simple."

Kinda backs my rant... I want to be able to explain Mapserver to my mother.

Merry X'mas.
