+This message is to inform you about some project changes being considered by the MapServer project steering committee (PSC). Specifically we are looking to expand the functionality offered by the project by integrating a couple of external projects. The projects under consideration are:

+At this point integration means merging project governance, communications (mailing list/website), change management (SVN) and issue tracking (Trac). As a MapServer user you probably won't notice much of a difference since we'd continue to use MapServer infrastructure. You will start to see questions related to these new components on the mapserver mailing lists (-users, -dev) and we hope folks will take advantage of these new features if the need exists.
