[MAPSERVER-USERS] Mapserver equivalent for .NET

[Milo van der Linden]

Concerning SharpMap:
- I am writting a webservice handler for SharpMap at this moment. It 
allows SharpMap to behave as a WMS 1.3.0 server ONLY for the GetMap 
request (for more functionality; volunteers needed)
- For SharpMap I have written a XML specification that is also humbly 
(and offers far less possibilities for now :'(  ) based upon the 
Mapserver Mapfile

To me Mapserver is the mother of Open Source Maphosting!
