[Mapbender-dev] OSGeo-News: Mapbender article

[Astrid Emde (WhereGroup)]

Hi list,

thanx Marc to push the article forward.

I agree with the structure, just added some topics to 4. functionality.

I think we can take lot of the text from the wiki and just change them a bit.

I added the links to the chapters. Maybe we can build up the article in
the Mapbender WIKI [[OSGeo-News Vol.1 2007 Mapbender]] and discuss it
there. Afterwards Marc can transform it to Latex.

Marc - could you go for it and bring bits an pieces together?
