[Geomoose-users] Feature requests and a Tip

[Fischer, Brian]

Brent,
If you know how to get into the SVN you might want to download that version as Dan has added some nice enhancements to the print service and fixed a few bugs.  He also did a great job on updating and creating more documentation.

SVN: http://www.geomoose.org/moose/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=29&Itemid=34 
GM 2 docs: http://www.geomoose.org/geomoose2/docs/ 

I'm guessing we'll release a beta 2 in a couple of weeks.
