[Qgis-user] "Official" QGIS Web Client?

[Christopher Gray]

After reading the explanations here, I found some more details about QWC2
in a Google Doc here:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QHF7c3Z1yv-Y86fiAAb2I02fP6BysQXO5nd4y-qaR8A/edit

It says "The code should be part of the main QGIS github project page at
https://github.com/qgis/ - the group active around QWC II decides who will
get commit rights to this repository", which suggests if any version were
to be official, it would be QWC2. Further, the document explains the desire
to have clear integration between QGIS projects and the QWC2 interface.

Assuming this is the case, I would suggest a change to the website that
references QWC2 and perhaps briefly explains the difference between the
"Components" and "demo".

If QWC2 is not so closely tied to QGIS, it could be very useful to briefly
list options like QWC2, EQWC, Lizmap, GeoServer, GISQuick, etc. It seems
hard to grasp and navigate all of the options up front... and it is not
necessarily a GIS learning curve so much as a work-flow and program setup
learning curve.


Thank you, Chris
