[ZOO-PSC] Updates on MS4W+ZOO-Project

[Jeff McKenna]

sharing a discussion on MapServer-users today, below:



-------- Forwarded Message --------


This is exactly what the purpose of the ZOO-Project (WPS standard) is 
(http://zoo-project.org/), and in fact there is already an add-on 
ZOO-Project package available for MS4W (http://ms4w.com/download.html); 
however the GDAL/OGR services need to be added to MS4W, which I have 
created a ticket for you to follow along its progress at: 
http://www.ms4w.com/trac/ticket/133

Currently the MS4W ZOO-Project package supports PHP and MapServer only; 
the GDAL/OGR services will be added shortly.  (probably the next MS4W 
release will contain these in the base MS4W, not as an add-on)  There is 
also an existing ticket for a Python service, which will come in MS4W 4.x
