+% Ripped off working_with_ogc.tex (SH: 20110330)
+QGIS mapserver is an open source WMS 1.3 implementation which, in addition,
+implements advanced cartographic features for thematic mapping. The QGIS
+mapserver is a FastCGI/CGI (Common Gateway Interface) application written in
+C++ that works together with a webserver (e.g. Apache, Lighttpd). 
 
+
+It uses QGIS as backend for the GIS logic and for map rendering. Furthermore the 
+Qt library is used for graphics and for platform independent 
+C++ programming. In contrast to other WMS software, the QGIS mapserver uses 
+cartographic rules in SLD/SE as a configuration language, both for the server 
+configuration and for the user-defined cartographic rules. 
+
+Moreover, the QGIS mapserver project provides the “Publish to Web” plugin, a 
+plugin for QGIS desktop which exports the current layers and symbology as a 
+web project for QGIS mapserver (containing cartographic visualisation rules 
+expressed in SLD).
+
+As QGIS desktop and QGIS mapserver use the same visualization libraries, the
+maps that are published on the web look the same as in desktop GIS. The 
+Publish to Web plugin currently supports basic symbolization, with more complex 
+cartographic visualisation rules introduced manually. As the configuration is 
+performed with the SLD standard and its documented extensions, there is only 
+one standardised language to learn, which greatly simplifies the complexity 
+of creating maps for the Web.
