[Qgis-developer] Web mapping framework?

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi Zoran,

For the client part I would recommend any of (or a combination of) 
OpenLayers/GeoExt/MapFish. All three are related.

For the Server either UMN Mapserver or Geoserver is fine. There is also 
a QGIS mapserver developed by Marco Hugentobler. Marco will work on it 
later this year so you can re-use .qgs project files for web projects 
(without having to write other config files). Meanwhile you can already 
use QGIS  mapserver, but you have to write an SLD. It will serve the 
data as WMS. UMN and Geoserver are certainly more tested and perhaps 
faster than the current QGIS mapserver.

Marco can tell you more about QGIS mapserver.
