> Hello,

> 1 year ago Thomas Bonfort worked on a PR to make WMS Layer groups (defined
> with wms_layer_groups Layer Metadata items) to be requestable.
>
> That's mean that if a Layer has wms_layer_group=/group1/group2 then group1
> can be requested i GetMap request. This is the same behaviour as GROUP
> excep that GROUP can have only one group level. This change means that
> GROUP could be seen as deprecated.
>
> I worked on a PR for documentation [2]  and I think MIGRATION_GUIDE
> doesn't need to be adapted. I worked on a new branch from a newer master
> branch and cherry-pick the 3 commits from Thomas Bonfort branch.
>
> My question is what developpers and PSC think about this? We (Camptocamp)
> would like to see this merged in the MapServer code base and are ready to
> help if changes are needed. If you agree we can close the Thomas PR and
> open a new one from my new branch.
>
> Thanks for your feedback.
