New MapServer website is live

[Larry Shaffer]

This new website is very, very helpful!

It's timely for me as I recently started learning Mapserver, and I just
have to say I've learned twice as much, twice as fast using the new site.
The older site had good content but was difficult to find pertinent info
at times.

Thank you very much to everyone who worked on the new site. I for one am
truly benefiting from ALL of your hard work!
