[mapguide-users] Fusion broken.

[Jonathan Moules]

Hi Gabriele,
Well, I've downloaded and installed Maestro 5.0b4 (I'm fine with a beta at
this point), and connected to it. I had to connect "locally" as the http
one keeps disconnecting me.

However there is no tree on the left (via either connection method) and
therefore no sample data for me to test.

The documentation for it is referring to things I can't find. Specifically:
"\MapGuide Maestro 5.0b4\UserDoc\publish_workflow.html" says "create a load
procedure" in bold, however there is no such link anywhere I can see. Nor
is there a "create feature sources" link.

What do I do now?
Jonathan
