[Qgis-developer] qgis-mapserver docs

Yes, it would be very helpful to integrate the updated docs into the manual. 
Unfortunately, at the moment, I don't have time to work on the docs, so any 
help in this respect would be greatly appreciated.

Not from my side. But it would be possible e.g. by creating a class 
QgsWFSServer (similarly to the QgsWMSServer class that is used for the WMS 
requests).
Btw., TinyOWS is also quite good as a light-weight WFS server with support for 
WFS-T.

Regards,
Marco
