MapServer is not a "DM Solutions Open Source ... " software. MapServer 
is an open source software, and DM Solutions is one of the most 
important contributors to it. So, perhaps correcting that title would be 
  the first thing.

I know that some of the more traditional "data" companies have varying 
levels of interest in GIS. SAS, for example, is making quite an effort 
trying to integrate its data mining and intelligence tools with GIS 
analysis.

You might want to start from the data warehouse side. Go to the web 
sites of the various dwh companies and scouring their sites for literature.

there really is no specific netiquette other than the usual. Do your 
due-diligence, help, and be helped. Everyone is very friendly and 
helpful here.

However, this is really a "do-ers" group with most folks with technical 
problems, and others trying to help them solve those problems.

Hopefully you will want to install MapServer and work on dwh problems 
with it. That way we will all learn from you.

Welcome. Make yourself comfortable.
