for Publisher, the only issue we’ve seen so far is trying to convert some symbols to antialias versions (not the default but its nice). other then that, it seems to be woking pretty well for 9.2

The power of EZ publishing to the web is the time/hassle/technical know-how hurdles are so low that if you can set up an .mxd file you can set up a web map portal–no programming necessary.

I want to see sites now that are project and even meeting-related. E.g. on the muni web page I want to see the next zoning meeting and a link to a slippy map with all of the parcels at issue ready for my clicking.

For instance, I’m using the beta to publish a series of maps for a meeting next week for a non-profit for whom I did some spatial analysis. Do they have the money to pay me to build a web portal? No. Does whipping something up in JavaScript pro bono appeal? Not during ski season. But now I have a push-button way to get their content on the web with no fuss, little effort and still come out smelling like the good-guy-consultant.

Fragrantly Yours,

I’m sure Brian could be bribed though

WFS and GML would be possible, you could export and then publish them so they were easily accessible to everyone. another thing that gets published (optionally) is RSS feeds for each map that make it easier to locate them in the future.

WMS would need intermediary server software to translate the requested bounding box, choose an appropriate level and then seam together the tiles into a single response image. possible for sure but not something we would work on right now. it would also be nice if this software followed the OSGEO tile spec so that it could translate and return from any tile layer.
