[mapguide-internals] Discuss: RFC 48 - MapStudio Open Source

[Maksim Sestic]

Hi Kenneth,

When MSOS hits the MGOS project, it would be great if it's wrapper API and
UI stay separated as components with their own versioning scheme. The API
part is already finding it's way in some of my ASP.NET projects... :-) All
it presently needs is porting to .NET 2.0 due to generics utilization.

Regards,
Maksim Sestic
