[mapserver-users] OpenGIS CITE

[Dave McIlhagga]

Our group (DM Solutions) has begun testing mapserver against the 
compliance tests from the CITE initiative.  I don't have any information 
on results yet, but I anticipate that results will become know at some 
point.

If anyone else out there is doing this, or planning on setting up some 
automated testing along these lines, please get in touch with us so we 
can coordinate activities.
