[mapserver-users] MapServer WFS/ArcGIS 10.1

I've created a wiki page about using the mapserver WFS with ArcGIS:

https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/wiki/WFS-Server-working-with-ArcGIS-Data-Interoperability-Extensions

Steve, there's not much else in my mapfile other than what's on the wiki page.  I have a couple of "include" statements that include other layers (some roads for context, some barcharts for the WMS), but the example layer is the one that feeds data properly to the WFS clients. I'll be happy to send you the full mapfile if you still need it, but I don't want to post all the extra detail on the wiki.  Please update the wiki if you learn more.
