[Live-demo] TinyOWS merging with UMN Mapserver

[maplabs at light42.com]

Hi All -

 I wish good things for all involved.. and, the Live project has 
reached feature freeze at Beta 1, with Final looming for the 
International FOSS4G. 
I do not see a practical way for tech, installer/build and docs process 
to smoothly synch before Final. Therefore, I suggest strongly that we 
defer
any changes regarding MapServer Suite to OSGeo Live 7.5. If one or more 
people from MapServer were to devote full time attention to a
proposed change, it would still be a stretch. My experience is that it 
is unlikely to get that sort of attention during the vacation month of 
August.

best regards from Berkeley, California
