[mapguide-users] Adding map layers to a map by clients

[Kenneth Skovhede, GEOGRAF A/S]

There exists/existed a web based editor for MapGuide called WebStudio.
It had many of the things ready, such as a tree with resources, a basic 
layer editor, etc.
I can't remember the license, but you can likely find a lot of items 
from that code.

Since Maestro is based on System.Windows.Forms it is not easily portable 
to a webpage.
You can use the MaestroAPI to communicate with MapGuide, but there is a 
huge task
in building the userinterface with Javascript.

This would allow users to view just the map layers of interest rather than seeing hundreds of layers in the legend and having to muddle through them.
