Mapbender Users, Developers and Steering Committee

Mapbender is developed by three inclusive groups:

• The Mapbender PSC decides on functionality, release plan, licensing and development in general.
• Mapbender Contributors contribute to documentation, testing, packaging, etc. All active developers (code and content) are in this group. This group can vote on issues brought up by the steering comittee.
• The largest group of active Mapbender Users communicate through the Mapbender Mailing Lists for support and help. All developers and the PSC will read the lists. Anybody on this list can propose a request for change or bring up issues with the board resulting in a Voting Process.
