I have had several discussions here in some forums in México about GeoServer against Mapserver. The <br>same thing with gvSIG/Kosmo against QuantumGIS.

I'm glad to hear that they are interested in the online interaction with the data sources. Personally <br>I am interested in the develop of an online geoprocessing tool. Also in introducing WFS for feeding data warehouses.<br><br><br></div><div><font style="font-weight:bold;color:rgb(0, 96, 191);font-family:verdana, helvetica, sans-serif;" size="2">IC Carlos Ruiz</font><br><br></div><div style="font-family: arial,
