Hi again, Adding some additional info regarding the QWC II project. It is anticipated/planned to collaborate, if possible with the MapStore2 project of the italian company "Geosolutions". They have very similar goals than QWC II, so some code/components could be shared or jointly developed. See http://www.geo-solutions.it/blog/mapstore-2-modern-webmapping/
