[pycsw-devel] Fwd: MS4W version 4.0.0-beta1 available

[Jeff McKenna]

Of course the power of this is that it is a single unzip to the C drive, 
and you get the full magic included in that zip of Python 3.7, Apache, 
mod_wsgi, pycsw, and ability to serve and consume various OGC services 
(WMS, WFS, WFS-T, WCS, WPS, etc) without installing anything else, other 
than that single unzip command.

It is exciting to see MS4W move into the full SDI realm.  Again thank 
you to pycsw !!!!
