[Mapserver-inspire] gsoc2011/ mapserver/ inspire view service support

[Daniel Morissette]

Hi Stefan,

I'd encourage you to cross-post your weekly summaries to the 
mapserver-inspire list since I believe they will be of interest to all 
members of this list, and OTOH requiring everyone from mapserver-inspire 
to also subscribe to the gsoc list and wade through everybody's weekly 
report just to find yours is much less convenient.

Let's see what others think...
