Hello friends,

>From past many days I am reading about so many open source web
solutions in the GIS world. I am evaluating them based on features and
simplicity. Mapserver and Mapguide seems like strong candidates. I am
also confused about the support from Autodesk and DM solutions.

I am a developer, and I understand GIS terminology. I am in search of
the best open web based GIS solution where I can render my shapefiles
on browser and view fairly good quality maps. I have all the
shapefiles with me and configuration/setting up a gis server never
bothers me.

I am in search of a healthy suggestion which can clear my confusion
directly and show me some direction for choosing the best gis engine.

Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Ambastha

I use Geoserver, which seems to be a good open source solution, and
very standards compliant, as it is the reference implementation for
WFS.
