<div>Dear Gabriela,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>thank you for your input and I totally agree with the lack of 'ripe' installation instructions. At least I am happy I'm not alone here with PostGIS and MGOS interoperability issues and that hopefully there will be a working system architecture posted and presented soon on MGOS 2.x.</div>
