Re: Examples of proprietary extensions that have improved MapServer?

[bartvde]

Hi Sean,

MapDotNetServer seems to be one of them (at least they use the Mapserver MAP
file format, so I am sure they must be using Mapserver somewhere under the
hood):

Best regards,

There was a mention a while ago of a proprietary MapServer-based
software with enhancements and bug fixes. This has made me curious. Does
anybody have any examples of proprietary extensions to MapServer that
have given back bug fixes and features to the open source community? I'm
curious about proprietary, pay websites as well as MapServer-based
commercial, off-the-shelf software.

Cheers,
Sean

Have they funded any development of MapServer? Contributed patches?

Sean,

I think they will share the problems with us if they have any, such as:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1994
Instead of making inhouse fixes regularly.

Keep it up, guys,

Best regards,

Tamas
