Hi Pirmin (and others),
I'd be interested to hear you expand upon your thoughts.
I see there being compelling benefits achieved from merging Mapserver
and TinyOWS documentation. When explaining complex technical concepts,
it helps the reader to have the information presented as concisely and
clearly as possible. "Less documentation gets read more".
A new user deciding whether to install MapServer or GeoServer is
presented with "Install GeoServer and get WMS/WFS-T all in one package,
or learn about/install to 2 packages, MapServer/TinyOWS to get the
same." Only needing to install one package is more compelling.

Hi Cameron,
I don't see the necessity or a benefit of merging.

All,
I'd like to re-raise this question about whether we should merge TinyOWS
and UMN Mapserver. We do have a window of a week or so if we were to
update installers, and 2 weeks if we wish to update docs.
At the very least, I suggest we should merge the two Project Overviews
and Quickstart docs.
Steve, Pirmin, Alan, Olivier,
I'd be interested to hear your thoughts?

I'd be inclined to suggest that OSGeo-Live distribute MapServer Suite
(as you describe below). But as we have reached feature freeze, we
probably should wait until the next OSGeo-Live release before putting
into place.

I'll ask this of the MapServer devs and report back. TinyOWS is part
of the project but is not tightly integrated and can be downloaded
separately. There's a MapServer Suite release that includes
MapServer, MapCache and TinyOWS but that's not what we're including
in Live-Demo.

Tinyows has the same "problem" as QGIS Server. It is now part of UMN
Mapserver.
Pirmin (and others),
With TinyOWS incorporated into MapServer, I suspect that it would be
appropriate to extend the Mapserver Project Overview / Quickstart to
incorporate TinyOWS features, and discontinue the TinyOWS Project
Overview/Quickstart.
Would that make sense? Or does TinyOWS still exist in its own right?
