[mapserver-dev] Time for a 7.2.2 release?

[Stephen Woodbridge]

Steve L,

I like what Openlayers has in the way of examples but that would be a 
major undertaking so I think it is beyond the scope of things. I have 
found the  Mapserver OGC pages to be very help as an example. For this 
specific case of MVT tiles, a simple mapfile with the appropriate bits 
commented. And for mapcache, and a sample mapcache.xml referencing the 
sample mapfile should do it. I would think this could all be done on a 
single page and added to the documentation.

For the mapfile, I presume you need to setup an output format, and then 
there is probably some metadata that needs to be defined to tell what 
properties should be included with the data. Is this on each layer? What 
happens if multiple layers are requested with different geometry types? 
you get back a FeatureCollection?  What does a request look like, is 
this a standard WMS or WFS request? I'm guessing a WMS because that is 
what mapcache expects.  A sample geojson output might be helpful. I'm 
just tossing out ideas here that I think might be helpful to someone not 
familiar with it and trying to make use of it.

If you want to send me some info on/off list, I will try to organize it 
and put together markdown page and send that back to you.

We don't do much of that and perhaps we should. There really aren't any new configuration options, heck the MVT output format is built in so as long as the support is compiled in there isn't much to it. Steve, maybe you could put together an outline of what your ideal "how to" might contain?
