[Mapserver-dev] RE: mapscript documentation

[Sean Gillies]

All,

I have created a new issue in Bugzilla under Mapserver Documentation
about my proposal for a new framework for the SWIG mapscript
development documentation.

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=576

Please add yourself to the CC list if you are interested.

cheers,
Sean
