[Mapserver-users] OGC implementing and conforming products for mapserv

[Dave McIlhagga]

Since we've (DM Solutions) been looking after all implementation of OGC 
specifications in MapServer, I think it's reasonable that we would take 
responsibility for ensuring we are properly registered at OGC for 
implemenation and/or conformance of OGC specs.

We've discussed this internally recently.  Assefa is responsible at our 
end for our OGC implementations -- he will follow-up with OGC at each 
MapServer release to identify any further implementations or conformance 
of mapServer to the specs.

Re. WMS support in mapServer, we are striving for conformance and are 
going through conformance testing at the moment.  With any luck, we'll 
pass the conformance test by the release of MapServer 4.1.
