Hey Terry, Thanks for the reply. Yes, they are both projects but in theory Mezzanine can be integrated as an app (or so it says in the Mezz docs).
Check this site: http://www3.socioambiental.org/raisg2015/ I'm looking to make something like this. An admin user can upload vector or raster files and it would show up on the map, and make queries about the data that each file contains. I have some questions: Since you say to run it side by side, it is possible to share the same database and work just fine? OpenLayer isn't just for showing maps? Or you can make "complex" queries with it? And, in any case, how did you make it work with Django CMS(I'm familiar with it)? Or docs are just fine? And how did you integrate MapServer into Django? Did you use mapscript for python? How friendly is making queries using GDAL directly?
