I am pleased to announce CouchMaps which is a simple wrapper around MapServer (http://mapserver.org/) to enable
* Existing MapServer map files to be converted to JSON format * MapServer map files to be edited in JSON and stored in CouchDB * MapServer to be managed and run in an Erlang OTP supervision process * GDAL CouchDB OGR driver to serve GeoJSON directly from CouchDB as a WFS or rendered through WMS MapServer is an Open Source platform for publishing spatial data and interactive mapping applications to the web. The code is available here https://github.com/normanb/couchmaps Mainly this leverages the great work by the GDAL and MapServer communities. I have included sample data and a walk through of making WFS and WMS queries (http://www.opengeospatial.org). My employer, ITT VIS, http://www.ittvis.com enabled the release of this code and donated my time to this development. Many thanks, Norman p.s. I would like to make this work with CouchDB trunk, but GeoCouch is using an API that is pending approval to CouchDB trunk so currently it uses CouchOne.
