Thanks a lot Jeff for your support.

The WFS-T was indeed started a long time ago, historically prior to the 
Barcelona event, I remember presenting it to the MapServer community 
(through Daniel Morissette) with Nicolas during this event. At that time 
I have a working version using the MapServer version available at that 
time. We used it some time after for a client in production. But after 
that we didn’t really maintain the code. I remember some time ago 
thinking of concurrency gesture for instance for file based backend but 
I do not remember implementing it  Anyway, the wfs-t source code is 
available on the MapMint repository for a while now (since the last 
OSGeo Code Sprint in Vienna, oops sorry the C-Tribe / QGIS Code Sprint I 
should say … ). As we used the MapServer C-API for implementing the 
WFS-T support and I know that it evolves a lot from one version to 
another it is not really sure that the current code is working with the 
current MapServer version. Obviously, by spending few times to check 
what was the potential C-API changes it should be easy to fix it and 
make it working again based on a modified version of the work made at 
that time.
