[mapguide-users] web studio - feature data setup?

[Brad Nesom]

Here! Here!
The trick then it seems would be moving the idea of open source from the few
and the wise, to the many and capable.
I can say that 1.2 beta comes closer to that than anything else I have seen.
And if I knew certain that webstudio would get me all the way to where I
need to be I would begin implementation now. (maybe even buy an ENT Studio
to get me from now to then.

Good question Jason. :)

Seriously though -- from when we first looked at MapGuide as an  
overall open source project way back in the Tux days, we felt that it  
could not truly be successful as a standalone open source project  
without an open source mechanism to effectively manage data. Hence  
Web Studio (which admittedly does not *yet* have all those essential  
features).

So from our perspective, Web Studio in the open source world cannot  
be a 'crippled' technology. Otherwise it won't achieve the goal of  
encouraging adoption, and most importantly, further contributors.

Having said that -- there may be value-add pieces -- but nothing that  
would be critical in order to make Web Studio a standalone functional  
piece of software in open source.
