Steve/Richard,
I am assuming that all that will be required is a little bit of text
formatting, and soliciting/organizing blurbs about the various
environments that exist.  If my assumptions are correct, I would be glad
to do this.  If someone can give me basic instructions, i.e., do I go to
the mapserver wiki entry that was mentioned by Richard?  Is this the
pre-2005 wiki, the only one I can find reference to on the mapserver
site, I assume therefore the wiki is no longer functioning?

Also, what do we call them? Mapserver Development Environments?
Mapserver Mapping Frameworks?

r.b.

I think this is very important. A wiki entry was started more than a
year ago on this. Cameron, Arnulf, Paul Spencer had a paragraph or two
and I have taken the liberty of copying them this email.  I threw in a
couple paragraphs on jBox and dBox.

We need to pursue this. The server-side of web mapping is more mature
than the client side. It is hard to figure out what the various
clients offer and which client might be a good fit for a given
project. New users need a general overview of client capabilities.
