    8    *
     7   * Incorporates the Fusion technology from DM Solutions which represents the biggest source code donation from the community to date. Fusion uses Open Layers at it's core and provides tremendous flexibilty for application and web developers.
     8   * Support for the AGG Renderer significantly improves anti-aliasing and overall map quality.
     9   * The complete roadmap and features of 2.0 can be found here: http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/milestone/2.0.

    1316== Areas for Improvement ==
    1417 * While community contribution to the project is growing, most of those contributions are still on the periphery of the project. The core development on the !MapGuide project is still primarily fueled by developers at Autodesk. The project really needs developers from the communinity actively working on some of the core components.
    15  * Getting started with MapGuide is still more difficult than it needs to be. Improvements to the authoring tools (Web Studio / Map Studio) and a tutorial would go a long way to improving this experience.
     18 * Getting started with !MapGuide is still more difficult than it needs to be. Improvements to the authoring tools (Web Studio / Map Studio) and a tutorial would go a long way to improving this experience.
    1619 * A public build system for !MapGuide would provide the community information on the state of trunk and access to daily builds of trunk.
    1720 * Linux based builds of !MapGuide and FDO remain more difficult than they should be. Some effort was put into an FGS installer but more work is required to the build systems of both FDO and !MapGuide to make FGS fully viable.
