[mapguide-users] how to create an mgp file?

[Zac Spitzer]

it's good when two people provide similar answers :)

brainstorming on this, if webstudio is not going to be up to the task
generally, it
would be good if there was page under mapagent which allows a SDF on the
server
to be added to the repository as a managed feature source
