i've been studing 'n' trying MapServer since the last 12 months...
    i was searching for a good GPL+web+gis tool to avoid ArcIMS, cause
it's too much expensive and so...i saw mapserver and this list.

i've liked too much because:
-it's free! it's GPL
-it's simple to use(does anybody here has developed something with ESRI
MapObjects with VisualBasic? :-(  )
-it's fast
-it's stable : it is at 3.x version... it's better than 0.2 or 0.5 ....
-it's portable : u can use it under Linux or Windows with a little of
modifications
-...

so, finally , my question is :
-and what about the future? could mapserver loose its projects like
Nautilus(EazeL)?
and what i can do help keeping this project alive?
