[OSGeo-Discuss] Integration test bed thingy at FOSS4G

[Cameron Shorter]

Arnulf, good idea to have a WFS-T we can all connect to. How about we 
publish the URL before the demo so that we can set up and test our 
clients, then reset the data at the start of the conference. (Mike Adair 
is setting up a Mapbuilder client.)
