<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><span class=apple-style-span>GeoMOOSE
(<a href="http://www.geomoose.org" target="_blank">www.geomoose.org</a>) is an
open source web application framework for displaying geographic data.
What makes GeoMOOSE unique is it provides an out-of-the-box solution that makes
it easy for non-developers to create web-mapping applications with typical
tools such as navigate, search, measure and print. Non-developers only need to
be comfortable with configuration files. GeoMOOSE has a number of
strengths including modularity, configurability, and delivers a number of core
functionalities in its packages. The project has targeted local
government business cases to distribute land records information, but many
other users have used it for much more. Since GeoMOOSE is open source
project it built on other popular open source projects such as OpenLayers (<a
href="http://www.openlayers.org" target="_blank">www.openlayers.org</a>) and
MapServer (<a href="http://www.mapserver.org" target="_blank">www.mapserver.org</a>).
To get started with GeoMOOSE, simply go to the download page and install the
software demo.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span class=apple-style-span>We are excited to see the
inception of this project go from a an application developed by the City of St.
Paul, MN to FGDC CAP grant to a robust open source software project used by
hundreds of people across the world in the last 3 years. We hope you find
the investment made by all the developers a resource to the GIS
community. We are excited to see this project grow and we envision
continued growth as more and more users find it. We welcome feedback on
the GeoMOOSE project and hope you give the software a try.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
