[mapserver-dev] Documentation updates

[Elvis Wang]

Hi all,

Thank you Jeff. You are so kind to offer so many information on sphinx and  
rst files.

I would like to have a brief introduction about myself here. I am from  
China and currently a student majoring in GIS. As am interested in Open  
GIS and MapServer, I would like to do some translation work for MapServer  
docs. Thank Jeff for his kindly instruction and help. Hope I can help in  
the translation.

Elvis Wang
