[OSGeo-Discuss] Integration test bed thingy at FOSS4G

[Paul Spencer]

Daniel,

I'm considering the possibility of setting one up, but am in the same  
position as you are ... way too much to do!  Also, everyone is on  
holiday right now (or at least it seems that way) so I can't really  
commit until I talk to some folks here.

If we do something, it will likely be very simple and just draw  
everything in default styles assuming folks will use SLD to fancy up  
their maps.  I think we could get that done.  It would also expose  
WFS I guess.  Comments?
