MapFish
*******
MapFish is a flexible and complete framework for building rich web-mapping
applications. It emphasizes high productivity, and high-quality development.
MapFish is based on the `Pylons <http://pylonshq.com>`_ Python web framework.
MapFish extends Pylons with geospatial-specific functionality. For example
MapFish provides specific tools for creating web services that allows querying
and editing geographic objects.
MapFish also provides a complete RIA-oriented JavaScript toolbox, a JavaScript
testing environment, and tools for compressing JavaScript code. The JavaScript
toolbox is composed of the `ExtJS <http://extjs.com>`_, `OpenLayers
<http://www.openlayers.org>`_ , `GeoExt <http://www.geoext.org>`_ JavaScript
toolkits.
MapFish is compliant with the `Open Geospatial Consortium
<http://www.opengeospatial.org/>`_ standards. This is achieved through
OpenLayers or GeoExt supporting several OGC norms, like WMS, WFS, WMC, KML, GML
etc..
MapFish is open source, and distributed under the `BSD
<http://www.opensource.org/licenses/bsd-license.php>`_ license.
Current release
---------------
MapFish 2.2 is the current release. Check out the `reference documentation
<doc/2.2/index.html>`_.
Interoperability
----------------
The MapFish framework is built around an open HTTP-based protocol, allowing
various interoperable implementations. In addition to the reference
implementation provided by the Python/Pylons-based framework, two other
`implementations <doc/implementations/index.html>`_ are currently available:
* a Ruby/Rails plugin (GPLv3)
* a PHP/Symfony plugin (BSD)
See the documentation for more information.
MapFish Print
-------------
The MapFish project hosts *MapFish Print*, a Java library to print maps.
MapFish Print is independent from the MapFish framework, but works well with
it.
MapFish Print is released under the GPLv3 license.
See the `MapFish Print Documentation
<http://www.mapfish.org/doc/print/index.html>`_ for more information.
Affiliation
-----------
.. image:: _static/img/OSGeo_project.png
MapFish is a project of the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo
Foundation). `OSGeo <http://www.osgeo.org/>`_'s mission is to support and build
the highest-quality open source geospatial software.
Community
---------
The MapFish project is governed by a `Project Steering Committee
<http://trac.mapfish.org/trac/mapfish/wiki/Community/PSC>`_, composed of people
from various organizations.
Discussions regarding the project are public. They occur on the project
`mailing lists <http://lists.mapfish.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo>`_ and on IRC
