[MAPSERVER-USERS] New cache mechanism

[Pål Kristensen]

Hi!

Norwegian Mapping and Cadastre Authority (statkart) has developed a new open
source cache mechanism called geoCache, for use with WMS services. The
project is part of a larger research activity which is being performed by
statkart and Gecko Informasjonssystemer AS (www.gecko.no), partially founded
by Innovation Norway
(www.innovasjonnorge.no/system/Global-toppmeny/English/). The research
activity will be carried out to the end of 2009.

GeoCache is based on the tilecache.org project, but is completely rewritten
in C#, version 0.1 is published at codeplex
(http://www.codeplex.com/geoCache).

GeoCache will be subject to extensive development, and one of the main
projects in the research activity the next year. Some of the new features
that will be developed first is:
 - the ability make geoCache response to regular WMS GetMap requests, not
only WMS-C.
 - partially cache updates
 - dynamic cache generation (cache is generated by use)
 - cross platform support (Linux and Windows as a minimum) and support for
apache

Regards,
Pål Kristensen
