+MapServer is an Open Source geographic data rendering engine written in C.
+
+Beyond browsing GIS data, MapServer allows you create "geographic image maps",
+that is, maps that can direct users to content. For example, the Minnesota DNR
+Recreation Compass provides users with more than 10,000 web pages, reports
+and maps via a single application. The same application serves as a "map
+engine" for other portions of the site, providing spatial context where needed.
+
+MapServer was originally developed by the University of Minnesota (UMN)
+ForNet project in cooperation with NASA, and the Minnesota Department of
+Natural Resources (MNDNR). Later it was hosted by the TerraSIP project, a
+NASA sponsored project between the UMN and a consortium of land management
+interests.
+
+MapServer is now a project of OSGeo, and is maintained by a growing number
+of developers (nearing 20) from around the world. It is supported by a
+diverse group of organizations that fund enhancements and maintenance, and
+administered within OSGeo by the MapServer Project Steering Committee made
+up of developers and other contributors.
