[Qgis-user] looking for developer

[Brent Fraser]

Dan,

     I haven't done any work with the web serving capabilities of QGIS 
so I can't offer any opinion there.  However, both GeoMoose 
(http://www.geomoose.org) and MapFish (http://mapfish.org/) are 
web-based frameworks with printing capability (and there maybe others).  
Both are based on OpenLayers, and can handle tiled raster datasets.

     GeoMoose attempts to be a "zero programming" environment where you 
configure your web mapping site in a configuration XML file. They have 
an active mailing list so if you have any questions, I'm sure they would 
be happy to answer them...

Best Regards,
Brent Fraser
