time series representations in Mapserver

[Gerry Creager N5JXS]

A combination of user interface and cartography.  I don't want to 
reinvent the UI wheel, so to speak.  We use a PostGIS database, so 
timestamps are available already; backend should be OK. 
Cartographically speaking, do we attempt this with Flash, or is the 
timeseries WMS stuff ready for prime time?

Thanks!
