Of the users of the OSS CAD package we''ve put out there, a fair
proportion have limited tech chops and have installed a web server pack
(often WAMP/LAMP/MAMP) for the first time. We've worked at limiting the
stack height for their benefit, since these folks aren't cartographers
or researchers. I want to move from the current GMaps base to OSGeo,
and the implementation language issue will be a significant one in our
doing so.
Folks,
It would be pretty easy for OSGeo to provide shell access and hosting to
web services based on open source software on a telascience blade, including
the availability of PHP and Python.
Best regards,
