If this, I would like to surely include it.
Then I think I only need to integrate all the things at one pace after
making a Debian package for default tile server.
debain package will be like: $apt-get install meramap     (MeraMap is
the name we assigned to the project)
I have designed a working model image, please check and comment.

if I will be able to successfully install the Quantum GIS then I will
only need to integrate it instead of customisation part.


 IMHO, packaging all the rest would be very useful (but maybe

It can be very helpful for me, Thank You very much.
