I'd like to propose getting Olivier commit rights for the documentation tree to maintain the RFC. Any objections?

  -------------------------
   - LibXML2 >= 2.6.20
   - PostgreSQL >= 8.1.0
   - PostGIS >= 1.5.0
- - Flex
   - FastCGI is optional (but recommended)

  4.6 MapFile notions not yet addressed
  -------------------------------------
  Some Mapfile concepts are not yet present in TinyOWS:
- - Supporting other database than PostGIS
- - Ability to associate each layer to a different database connection
- - Some specifics configuration stuff not required by OGC compliancy,
-   but who still could be useful.
+ - Only PostGIS CONNECTIONTYPE are handled
+ - TinyOWS don't pretend to support right now all the WFS parameters  
available in MapFile
+ - But on the other hand you should be able to configure every part  
of TinyOWS from MapFile
+ - Each CONNECTION string value in layers must be the same.
+ - MapFile PROJECTION content is not parsed, so use explicit wfs_srs
+ - MapFile LAYER/FILTER is not parsed.
+ - Defaults values are TinyOWS ones, even for common properties  
shared by both apps.
+ - TinyOWS don't use DATA element from MapFile, so you have to use  
tinyows_table (and tinyows_schema if needed) in each layer.
+ - If DUMP is not set to TRUE on a layer both Read and Write access  
are shutdown for these layer
