[MapQuery] test msg to list

[Steven Ottens]

TBH, GeoEXT is much older and more developed as such it is the safer bet for a big project.

On the other hand, mapQuery is/should be easier to adept since it is following jQuery's way of writing code. I've dived into MapQuery because I didn't like Ext's all including style, especially on the layout/design bits. jQuery gives you easier design freedom, but at the cost that you've to do more work because there are mainly functions, not complete components. We've tried to provide an easy lib similar to jQuery/jQuery UI and we would love to hear feedback on how it feels/works/looks from a fresh view.

I'm currently writing new webmap-apps with MapQuery and any usable bits will filter back in MapQuery 0.2. They are very much like http://kaart.edugis.nl/ (pre mapquery 0.1 site) so that will give you an idea of what I'll be putting into 0.2. Other than that we haven't had a discussion on what 0.2 should look like. At foss4g in Denver we will discuss this and hopefully come up with a nice roadmap.
