Recently, I was not very active on my blog. There are two reasons of that silence: small holidays – I spent last week with my parents (visiting my home after about 1.5.year :-)), second, I’m contributing to GDAL project most of my time. I’m also trying to contribute to MapServer …so there is huge amount of things I have to learn. In the meantime, I’m investigating OSGeo projects like FDO or MapGuide and trying to continue my participation in GEOS project. I’m also trying to provide substantial support to GDAL/OGR users (e.g. regarding Windows CE port of OGR) on mailing lists and #gdal IRC channel.
Hopefully, I’ll spend next 2-3 months (may be more) working with Open Source GIS projects. Recently, I started to think about new web mapping project. I am going to develop it using MapServer, WFS and AJAX. I hope I’ll find some time to start it. Although, I’m a web mapping solutions newbie, I’m not affraid at all because Tyler’s book is laying on my desk.
…I’m back to work.
Hi Mateusz,
are you aware of the Mapbuilder project? It is an AJAX based web mapping framework which can deal with WMS/WFS.
Check it out before you start something afresh.

Hi Bart,
Thanks for this recommendation. I’ve only heared about MapBuilder but not used. First, I got interested in ka-Map
http://ka-map.maptools.org
Have you any experience with ka-Map?
At the first glance, it seems to be similar to MapBuilder.
you might also like openlayers http://openlayers.org
Gregor, thanks for your suggestion.
I’m going to take a closer look.
Hmm, I’d wish to find some comparison of *all* open source JS/AJAX based web mapping projects ;-)
