[mapserver-dev] New demo proposal...

[Kralidis,Tom [Burlington]]

Steve: I think this is a good start.  Awhile back we talked of merging
the various demos into the OSGeo i/f (trac, svn).  Much of the OGC
workshop can feed the applicable bits in your TOC.  How do you see the
various demos working together (how modular or integrated)?
