[Mapserver-users] CMS Shootout

[bartvde at xs4all.nl]

Hi,

just curious if you considered Drupal (http://www.drupal.org)?

Maybe it is interesting to mention the dropouts (CMS's which were
mentioned but not selected) and the reason why they were dropped out.

Tom, do you have any experience with this from your Mapbuilder involvement?

Best regards,
Bart
