Similarly to the Mapfish framework, there is another alternative, called Geomajas. This too is a client-server framework with all the necessary building blocks for building full GIS web applications. All projects have to carry their own history and thus the main difference between the

Thanks Bob. Yes, GeoMoose does seem impressive for what it can do out of the box. I noticed there is a GeoMoose mailing list and will likely signup for that. Quick question though: can the GeoMoose interface directly display png tiles (e.g., output from gdal2tiles/maptiler) or do rasters need
