[Geomoose-users] OpenWebGIS

[Brent Fraser]

Hey Dan,

Some of their features are intriguing:
     View -> Timeline
     Project -> Save/Load
     About -> Game

And
     Edit -> Upload Shapefile

     That last one is interesting as I had built some Python to take a 
shapefile and generate a GeoMoose-friendly Maperver .map file and 
snippets for Geomoose's mapbook.xml (when answering some support 
questions the person frequently sends me a shapefile and a plea for 
help).  But shipping the Python to users would just generate more 
support questions.   Maybe the answer is to host the Python (or the PHP 
equivalent) on the Geomoose.org site?

Best Regards,
Brent Fraser
