My answer to them would be that MapServer has passed the CITE tests for
WMS 1.1.1 for several releases but we just didn't get the paperwork done
to get the official stamp from OGC. MapServer 5.6 also passes the tests
for WMS 1.3.0 and we plan on getting the official certificate from OGC
after the 5.6 release, so the project should have the "Certified OGC
Compliant" mark on its website in the coming months.
WFS and WCS are another story, GeoServer has them, but we still need
work to pass all the tests so that won't be in 5.6.

Thanks Daniel.
Actually, we are conducting a free Open Source training program in Chennai
(India) particularly on MapServer and Quantum GIS in order to promote Open
Source technologies. Since GeoServer already has a "Certified OGC Compliant"
mark on its website, my audience might ask a question "Why not MapServer?"
I am not sure what should I answer them. Your help on this is highly
appreciated.
Thanks,
Ela.

Can someone please clarify whether MapServer is currently OGC
Compliant?
Because, I was able to find "UMN MapServer" only under "Implementing
Products" at OGC website.
"OGC Compliant" for which spec? You'd have to be more specific.
MapServer 5.6 (currently in beta) passes all the tests for WMS 1.1.1
and
1.3.0 and we plan on getting the formal certificates from OGC after the
5.6 release. So today, even though we pass all the tests (and have for
several releases), MapServer is only "Implementing" and in a few weeks
it will be "Compliant" for those two specs.
Tests are also underway for several other specs. A complete summary is
available at:
