Hi Steven, Nice start for MapQuery.
jQuery is easier to learn than ExtJS. MapQuery would be good web client to QGIS (Map) Server, GeoServer and Mapserver. I hope we can have "Print Widget" in the next release One suggestion I think if would be better to include minified versions of Openlayer and jQuery in the package. This would make newcomers struggle to MapQuery easier. Right now, if you click / open the demo (i.e. basic.html) is blank. The Readme did not mentioned how to get the Mapquery starting. No reference to these links. What is needed to make MapQuery runs. <script src="../lib/openlayers/OpenLayers.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script src="../lib/jquery/jquery-1.4.4.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script src="../src/jquery.mapquery.core.js" type="text/javascript"></script> Thanks.
