[Qgis-community-team] Merging QGIS Server docs from wiki and main docs?

[Mats Elfström]

Hi!
The Windows part of this needs to be completely revised and tested.
Firstly, it is outdated, second it does not work and third it's written by
someone who declares: "Working on/in windows means for me like working with
ten thumbs on two left hands -- or:
I am not a windows expert! And normally I even do not have easy access to
any winbox. So this howto explains
how I got QGIS server up and running but might not always show the ideal
way."

Not very reassuring, and not surprising, it does not work.

Offer of sponsorship
I hereby offer unlimited admin access to a Windows 2012 R2 server in the
cloud, to install QGIS and QGIS Server, configure it and publish one QGIS
project, and document and publish reproduceable step by step-instructions
for this platform.
Admin access will be granted for a reasonable time, to anyone in the QGIS
community who wants to do this, and has sufficient QGIS and Windows
experience. I will decide who gets access, and will monitor and follow up
on the process.
The resulting documention will of course be part of the QGIS Server manual.
The candidate may select which web server to use, even if I would prefer
IIS.
The candidate may also select the kind of data source for the published WMS
service.
I will provide one vanilla Windows 2012 server cloud machine for a limited
time which is negiotiable.

Regards, Mats.E
