Just a note to others who might find this thread... as of the Mapguide
Open Source 1.0.1 release, Webstudio is included so you don't need to
resort to svn to try it out.
Andrew,
It's hoped that support for missing functionality will be developed
based on community feedback and code contribution. WebStudio was
designed so that additional 'document' types could be added in a
modular fashion. The editor content would be an html file that would
be hooked into the application via additional javascript classes and
methods similar to the ones in place for existing supported types. All
communication with the server is via mapagent calls.
You should be able to save maps, but you probably want to be able to
edit weblayouts and that isn't possible in the current version.
