> We take much time (and about half of it without funds) to keep this

> users)
>
> We would like to raise interest around QGIS Server, and report here that
> this part of QGIS is really used in production by companies and research
> centers, and maintained by some devs, and not just a QGIS side project "for
> fun".

> We just discussed with Alessandro Pasotti and we would like to create a

> Some questions to gather reactions :
> * Who is interested in maintaining QGIS Server ?
>

I'm interested in :-)


> * Who is interested in participating in  QGIS Server (code, ideas, review,
> tests) ?

Also.


For camp to camp it's an important part of QGIS :-)



> * Please share any ideas to enhance (refactor) QGIS Server
