Hi Crispin,

> Can there be a final 2.0.2 release before committing to CS-Map in 2.1?
What would you like to see in that 2.0.2 release? A choice between PROJ4 and
CS-Map?

>>> Ask someone what they want and it is always everything!  Ideally a final
>>> Proj4 release to make 2.x a stable and accessible platform for existing
>>> sites.  I do see CS-Map implementation as more than a .dot release and
>>> certainly http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/roadmap has defined 2.1 as just

>>> Proj.4 up to a 2.1 release in parallel with a CS-Map at 3.0 and onwards?

Are we talking about the end user installer?
If you install MapGuide server using the Windows installer, I believe the
installer will take care of installing all it needs. That would indeed
inflate the size of the installer.

>>> I see the 11g release folder from Mentor (Map 2009) is only 8MB without
