[mapguide-users] loading data thru Webstudio/ MGStudio expires Oct 1st .

[Paul Spencer]

The latest SVN version of webstudio contains bug fixes for file  
uploads for SDF and SHP feature sources and it seems pretty stable  
now.  There are no load procedures, though, you have to create a new  
feature source directly.

While it is possible and quite straight-forward to create the ability  
to configure other feature source providers, this has not been done yet.

Contributions to this part of web studio (and to a WebLayout editing  
capability) would be most timely :)

Cheers

Paul
