[Mapserver-users] Support for WMS time parameter

[Dave McIlhagga]

Hi Tom,

There is no "true" support for time in MapServer 4.0.

However, we're currently involved in some discussions to see if we can 
get this completed for the next release of MapServer 4.2 in January. If 
you would be interested in getting involved in this discussion to ensure 
our approach will meet the needs of the Climate Group, please contact me 
directly.
