Hi list,

as I am new to this list I will introduce myself first: I am working for a
company in Germany beeing involved amongst other things in
Geo(Meta)datamanagement. Most of our WebMapping solutions have been solved
with Geomedia WebMap or deegree up to now. In order of bringing in more
choice to our costumers I started collecting features/abbilities of UMN WMS.

As you see I tried to collect some info in before. Feel free to add new
features, feature classes, remarks or corrections. I guess this could lead
to an usefull overview for others and for the project, too.

As it would be too complex I decided not to differentiate between releases.
The goal is a kind of a common feature list capturing the "state of the art"
Will Sum.

Thanks,
Sebastian
