[Cartoweb-dev] Questions about your cartoWeb project

[Gambin Dejan]

Hello,

I am an advanced MapServer user (I couldn't call myself developer,
although I have done some programming to suite my needs) working in a
local municipality where I have installed MapServer showing some local
geospatial data. I am using PHP/Mapscript and p.mapper as an
DHTML/Javascript based interface (developed by Armin Burger).

I am satisified enough but I saw today demo of your project and it looks
great. Maybe you can answer me some questions to help me decide whether
to go using cartoWeb that I would like very much.

At this moment I have vector data in shapefiles and some raster images
in GeoTIFF and some dgn data. Can I use shapefiles? 
I have many layers/groups defined in my map file (that has grown much).
Do you think it would be a complicated job to use all my data in
cartoWeb? 
Do I have to use many other "initialization files" beside the mapfile
(because now I am only using one config file)? 
I have done some tiling/overviews of my tiffs to increase performance.
Does cartoWeb takes this into account?
Will the routing module be finished soon (higher level)? 

Thanks very much on your answers

regards
