AW: [Mapserver-inspire] MapServer and INSPIRE

Edward,

sorry for my quite late response, I promise to be more responsive now
that this deadline I was working on is over.

The main points are to check the usage of metadata keys (syntax for
keys, reporting of missing keys, etc.) and the arbitrary grouping of
layers to any depth.

One point where we definitely would need some help is in testing and
test data. During the summer of code project we asked for some real
world demo datasets for the msautotest test suite but so far we don't
have any. Could you maybe help out here?

Thanks,
Stephan

We'd rather put our time into something which is going in the "right" direction though, rather than just producing patches which are good enough to do a job for us but otherwise disappear into trac never to make it to trunk.
