class=968014402-24082008>As I recall hearing from someone - I think KaMap is an
obsolete package and people are migrating to other packages from it. I
could be wrong though since that's just hearsay and doesn't necessarily mean you
should switch anyway. Things in the GIS OS web framework arena seem to be
very in flux at the moment.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

class=968014402-24082008>It seems a lot of the newer GIS framework
packages - e.g. CartoWeb, GeoMoose, MapFish are moving towards OpenLayers for
their javascript client rendering. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

class=968014402-24082008>I don't think any of them aside from MapFish has
completed that migration which I think started out that way. Anyrate may
be worth the effort to look at some of these packages to see what they
provide.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Hai, <BR>Let me introduce my work to the list:-<BR> <BR><A
href="http://cheruvannur.web4all.in/resources/">http://cheruvannur.web4all.in/resources/</A><BR> </DIV>
<DIV>Hope, I can hear valuable suggestions. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It is hosted on a Debian GNU/Linux Etch server. It was my main project
during my M.Sc. course in last semester, and I decided to do this because I
wanted to do something useful for the panchayat - my first employer
:) (Panchayats are the rural local authorities in India, just like
Municipalities - the urban thing.) My course is just
finished.<BR> <BR>I developed this thing, on a Debian GNU/Linux Etch system
using GRASS GIS, PostgreSQL with PostGIS, Quantum GIS, UMN MapServer,
ka-Map etc. Coded in MapScript and php. All are Free/Open Source
things.<BR> <BR>I want to expand this to the entire district with some
added query modules, such as shortest route to a place, maximum coverage for
some areas, flood risk analysis etc, to make it a complete plan-development
support system.<BR> <BR>--
