Okay, thanks for that clarification.

Hi Dane, thanks by your attention, the 'Map server dependency' item
refers to if Mapnik works with any WMS service, or if only works
with one particular map server (e.g. GeoServer).
So Mapnik is a renderer but various WMS implementations can be easily
built on top of it. Currently Mod_tile, TileCache, and the Built-in
Mapnik OGCServer are the primarily servers that work with Mapnik.
Mapnik is not a web application that would depend on a map server or
need to work with any other mapserver, rather it is the backend that a
mapserver would depend upon.
The 'Require privative plug-ins' item refers to if the user have to
install some plug-in on browser to view web application normally
(e.g. there are some applications that only run with Flash plug-in).
No, Mapnik outputs png,jpeg,svg,pdf, and postscript and if these are
loaded within a web application they will not be a factor that would
require any additional plugins.
Dane
Thanks again.
GeoTux team.

Hey GeoTux Team,
Your description seems accurate.
However, I'm not clear on what 'Map server dependency' is? Is that
mean to be a listing of what the Mapnik WMS server depends upon for
installation, or are you asking if Mapnik itself depends on a server?
I'm also not sure what 'Require privative plug-ins' refers to, so
additional explanation there would be helpful.
If you send a bit more info I'll try to follow up with more
information.
Thanks,
Dane
