[mapserver-users] [Announce] A webapp for geodata management and dynamic mapping

[thomas bonfort]

Camptocamp (http://camptocamp.com) has initiated the development of a
new project which aims to manage geographic data and assist users to
create and export maps or web mapping based sites. The product named
GeoAdminSuite (aka GAS, http://geoadminsuite.org) is a Java EE 5 (non
distributed) application. It uses well-known OpenSource projects
libraries like MapServer as a map engine, MapFish as a web mapping
interface, Geotools 2.4.4 for core geographic data manipulation.

GAS is composed of 4 parts:

* The Host list, where datasources are configured
* The Catalog, where geographic data found in the host(s) are listed
(quickview, data view)
* The Map Composer, where selected geographic data are combined into
a map (mapfile edition, classification, labels, etc.)
* The Publisher, where the map can be published as a MapFish project

A first release candidate is available at http://geoadminsuite.org with
a few documentation and how-to's. The purpose of this publication is
mostly for having advice from developpers or potentially interested
users.
Feel free to post any comment you like to help us go forward on this
project.

Cheers,
The Camptocamp Team
