Hi all: I've got some time to put together a new demo for MapServer and would to get feedback from the community on what it should look like. Currently there are a number of options out there but none of them are very comprehensive. Demos that I know about include:
- the Itasca demo application (came out of the MUM1 meeting): http://maps.dnr.state.mn.us/mapserver_demos/workshop-5.0/ - Perry Nacionales' MapServer tutorial: http://biometry.gis.umn.edu/tutorial/ - Mobile Geographics' MapServer Recipies: http://www.mobilegeographics.com/mapserver/ - MN DNR MapServer Test Suite: http://maps.dnr.state.mn.us/mapserver_demos/tests46/ - Various MS4W packages: http://www.maptools.org/ms4w/index.phtml There are of course lots of questions: - should a demo be installable, hosted or both - what data should it use - should it cover just MapServer configuration (e.g. mapfiles) - should it cover installation as well or should that be left to how-to's - what relationship to other packages (e.g. OpenLayers, TileCache, Ka-map) should be demo'd Any feedback would be much appreciated. Steve
