GeoMoose 1.6.1 has been released. This is a Javascript client framework that can be downloaded from: http://www.geomoose.org/moose/
GeoMoose is a system that I hadn't heard of before. It looks to be a similar concept as OpenLayers, ie. a Javascript client that can support multiple layers from multiple servers. GeoMoose claims to be efficient with large maps with lots of layers. The samples on the GeoMoose website would support this, although they do not have a polished user interface like OpenLayers. GeoMoose supports WMS and MapServer. The GeoMoose front page description is as follows: GeoMoose is a Web Client Javascript Framework for displaying distributed cartographic data. Among it's many strengths, it can handle large numbers of mapping layers, all mapping display is abstracted to separate layers. This allows for the abstraction of the maintenance and updating tasks as well. The GeoMoose project is client-side code that uses a variety of JavaScript, XML, and DHTML technologies to interface with other web-clients. The primary target of Moose is for integration with the University of Minnesota's MapServer, but is not dependent upon it for operation.
