[Qgis-developer] Integration of QGIS mapserver to svn?

  +0 for QGIS Server and +1 for QGIS Mobile.

While I like "QGIS Server" as a name, there may be different "QGIS 
Servers" in the future? Maybe a QGIS WFS server? Or a QGIS WPS or 
geoprocessing server? Or a QGIS printserver?

I would see "QGIS Server" as a family of upcoming potential servers and 
"QGIS WMS server" for the great work that Marco just did. I also still 
like "QGIS Mapserver" or "QGIS Webmap Server" which actually describes 
what it is - serving styled maps for web-connected devices and applications.

Any other opinions?
