[mapguide-users] A plea for help: MapGuide Open Source & OWS specifications

[John Roberts]

Dear All

I sent a post to the mailing list on Tuesday 17th July with queries on how
MapGuide Open Source conforms with the OWS specifications (see below). The
information will be included in my Master's dissertation which I am doing
with UNIGIS. As yet, I haven't had a response which covers the points below
in detail. I haven't been able to find any detailed information on this
within the MapGuide Open Source documentation.

I would be very grateful if a developer could contact me as to whether they
think they would be able to answer the queries for me within the next couple
of weeks. My dissertation has to be handed in by the beginning of September.
I would very much like to include MapGuide Open Source within the document
as I think it is a very interesting entry in the Open Source GIS product
portfolio.

I realise that the time that developers give to exercises like this comes
out of their free time. I would like to say that I do appreciate this and I
am very grateful for the help that may be given.

Kind Regards
