Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Can I do the same GIS tasks with OS (as with ESRI)?
ٍExcellent discussion. I have been an ArcGIS user and now i am transferring to OS. in my opinion, the best point of ArcGIS is that you everything in 1 package = simplifying tasks about OS, at least i see no difference in Web-GIS domain. OS softwares like UMN mapserver and Mapguide OS sometimes work better. in the field of Desktop GIS, although QGIS, GRASS,Sharpmap and other tools are available but in a diverse manner. the main problem is that the most powerful OS sotfware (GRASS) in this area is under Linux not windows (= developing desktop GIS tools sounds very difficult). As announced by GRASS dev group, this problem is gonna solve soon. === OS GIS support most of expected needs from GIS, but sometimes with consuming more time. - Original Message From: Malte Halbey-Martin [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: OSGeo Discussions discuss@lists.osgeo.org Sent: Saturday, April 26, 2008 11:56:26 AM Subject: Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Can I do the same GIS tasks with OS (as with ESRI)? Hi, IMHO the most barrier for people using OS GIS is the lack of a user friendly interface, especially for map production and digitising. I know that this has been stated before in this thread, but I want stress this point out. I'm working as as supporter and software trainer for a software company and not few of our customers are paying much money for applications, which simplifys/extend the common ArcGIS funcitonallity! Most people are overstrained about the functionallity of GIS software. I think the users of GIS have changed over the past decade. More common people have to work with GIS (especially public servants). GIS has become a common software tool so the users aren't only specialist as some years ago! This new users just want to have a button and that's it. Don't ask them to create a sql string for extracting some data out of a database. So as already mentioned, OS GIS NEEDS as userfriendly Interface, powerful digitizing and map production tools which are easy to use. When these issues have been solved, we will see a strong rising spread of OS GIS software. Just my opinion. Malte PS: I love OS Software, but I just want to see a rising distribution of it! ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Simple Problem!
Hi I'm also newbie but according to what i khnow you shouldn't extract it. Instead you should change its extension from .zip to .mgp and copy it to that folder Regards - Original Message From: Alireza Nobahar [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: discuss@lists.osgeo.org Sent: Wednesday, November 14, 2007 3:13:34 PM Subject: [OSGeo-Discuss] Simple Problem! Hi there, I'm a new recruit in term of GIS. I'm surveying engineer and I'm also software programmer(VB6,VB.NET,C#.NET,SQL Server2000). Nowadays as I have to design and develop a GIS project, I'm scrutinizing the net to find something usefull about Mapguide Open Source and I've found OSGeo site. Neverheless, at the first step I've encountered a problem with a sample. I've done all the following step: 1 Download the package Sheboygan.mgp from https://mapguide.osgeo.org/downloads.html#samples . 2 Copy the package Sheboygan.mgp to one of the following locations: ■ Windows: C:\Program Files\MapGuideOpenSource\Server\Packages 3 Start Site Administrator: http://servername/mapguide/mapadmin/login.php 4 Enter the following: ■ User ID: Administrator ■ Password: admin 5 Choose the Configure Services menu. 6 In the Resource Services section, make sure that the path for Packages Folder is the same as in Step 2. 7 Choose the Manage Packages menu. 8 In the list of packages in the Load Package section, click Sheboygan.mgp. However, it doesn't have any package in the list! and is written:(No packages found) and I'm confused. Actually I downloaded Sheboygan.zip and after extract this folder copy it to (C:\Program Files\MapGuideOpenSource\Server\Packages). The folder name is Sheboygan,NOT Sheboygan.mgp!
