[mapserver-users] Testing KML support

[Yewondwossen Assefa]

Hi Peter,

  I have updated the RFC after some cleanup in the code 
(http://svn.osgeo.org/mapserver/branches/branch-5-6/docs/en/development/rfc/ms-rfc-58.txt). 


  Note also that there is a componenent Output-KML in MapServer trac 
(http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/), for reporting issues.

best regards,
