[GeoNode-devel] Publish WFS Layers with Remote Services app

[Dimitris Karakostis]

Thanks Jeff. During the coming months I will work on this. Initially I will
extend the Cascading for WFS as building an indexed WFS wouldn't work with
our current mapping client.
I will let you know on progress!

Cheers
Dimitris
