[Qgis-developer] Installed Qgis on Ubuntu - what do I do next?

[Marco Hugentobler]

Hi Christoper

As others pointed out, there are many WMS clients with a graphical interface.
QGIS webclient provides a java script client adapted to the possibilities of 
QGIS server (e.g. web based printing is supported out ot the box).

Source code and documentation are here:
https://github.com/qgis/qgis-web-client

Regards,
Marco
