Thanx for the tip, I tried it with
https://mapbender.osgeo.org/nonav/index.html
but for some reason the iframe does not load Mapbender correctly. Its a 
mess anyway to combine a non-secure server with an iframe in a secured 
https connection. Ideally we would run Mapbender directly from the SVN 
trunk on the CN infrastructure. That would immediately kill the 
smoke/compile/test issue and provide for an easily accessible dev 
server. I'll progress on this one in the hopeful expectation to solve 
some of these issues once tellascience goes online.

Meanwhile we'll play around integrating the Wiki using nonav, there are 
plenty of backlinks to OSGeo already.

Regards, Arnulf.
