This week autodesk and mapserver announced a cooperation in a new project MapServer Enterprize. A GPL project in which both organisations combine their technologies, to generate a new open source gis internet tool in which developers can use php, .net or java. New for the mapserver users are autodesks vector-viewing possibilities (where is SVG/GML?) and a desktop tool to configure the gis-data (at last!).
Well good news i guess. Though autodesc, not specifically being a GIS company, might not be my first choise to cooperate with. However they have a zilion of users. If they all are using MapServer soon, the comunity will be bigger than the mozilla team...
