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 style='color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></span></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>
