Mapbender uses MapServer as WMS to present and GeoServer as WFS-T to edit
the maps. GDAL/OGR is part of MapServer, so it is part of the stack as
well. Storage is done with PostGIS so that both GeoServer and MapServer
can access the same geoms.

Mapbuilder already sits on top of GeoServer and can do the same things as
Mapbender (fx. WFS-T editing) just with another perspective. So it will
also show up in the mashup. ((please define this, my online dictionary
only gives me 'smashup'... which is probably not what we can do :-))
