ADSK and the MapServer Foundation - tying the threads together

[Gary Lang]

The "enterprise" moniker idea came from a MS person, but we sell to
enterprise customers today with even less OGC support than we have in
MSE. Since we sell to them today a product with less of these features
it didn't seem too presumptuous.

 

It would be interesting to see a gap analysis. My boss is on the OGC
board, and they seem happy with our progress in this area.

 

In the rush to do all this by our AU event here in Orlando, many
shortcuts were taken, including with documentation. Sorry about that.
The first official release of the open source code will take place in
January, and it should be better by then.

I'm curious why you want to call your product Mapserver Enterprise when
it clearly doesn't have near the level of functionality that the *real*
Mapserver has? Could you answer this please? No OGC support, for
example, which is core to other "Enterprise" mapping applications. I'm
not finding adaquate documentation of features online but MSE doesn't
look like it provides much of the functionality commonly associated with
the Mapserver brand.
