Today I've been contacted by a software farm, which develops ArcGIS Server based solutions. It's the third in few months to propose me to work on that product, and maybe it's a clue indicating an increasing request for distributes GIS applications.
I know it's a hot theme and I don't want to start up a flame, but I think that FOSS gis run the risk to remain a step behind proprietary products. I know, interested subjects should invest in it to start a specific deployment, but I suspect it won't be possible in a short time... I think that projects, as PyWPS or some other examples on how to run Grass commands through web interfaces, are interesting prototypes, but they surely don't replace the lack of an OS Gis Server. What do yuo think about it? Are there projects in this direction?
