[Indonesia] FOSS GIS follow up sharing and training

[Wardiyono]

Arnulf,
Thanks for quick response.
I'll try your sugestions later this week.

For Frans,
Hendra Aquan (Our friendly Green Monster), is documenting the steps that 
we do. He is using Ubuntu instead the xubutu. It much less the same. I 
guess he would not mind to share his notes.

Yono.

> The other way to do it is to install an OGC WFS (Web Feature Server) 
> that looks into the same data as the corresponding WMS. This is a lot 
> more work but also allows for other ways to search data, for example by 
> attributes, within a rectangle and even as contained within another 
> geometry.
> If you only want to allow people to click on an object and get the 
> information of this object returned then GetFeatureInfo is enough.
