+Beyond browsing GIS data, MapServer allows you create "geographic image maps",
+that is, maps that can direct users to content. For example, the Minnesota DNR
+`Recreation Compass <http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/maps/compass.html>`__ provides
+users with more than 10,000 web pages, reports and maps via a single
+application. The same application serves as a "map engine" for other portions
+of the site, providing spatial context where needed.
+
+MapServer was originally developed by the University of Minnesota (UMN) ForNet
+project in cooperation with NASA, and the Minnesota Department of Natural
+Resources (MNDNR). Later it was hosted by the TerraSIP project, a NASA
+sponsored project between the UMN and a consortium of land management
+interests.
+
+MapServer is now a project of `OSGeo <http://www.osgeo.org>`__, and is
+maintained by a growing number of developers (nearing 20) from around the
+world. It is supported by a diverse group of organizations that fund
+enhancements and maintenance, and administered within OSGeo by the MapServer
+:ref:`Project Steering Committee <rfc23>` made up of developers and other
+contributors.
