[Qgis-developer] wps bakeoff? anyone interested

[Jody Garnett]

Nice a pleasure to meet you; sounds like you are rocking wps party.

Things are still taking shape for a "wps bakeoff".  I want to give each team a chance to think about if they want to take part or not. I expect some may need to wait for their normal IRC meeting etc.

So yeah; have a think; and we can chat about scope and schedule next week.

To be honest seeing another handcrafted xml request sent to a wps leaves me a bit cold. I would like to make sure the various describe process information is being handled correctly to the point where wps clients can manage to make a request safely.
