Glenn,
Has anybody explored outputting (or automatically updating) GIS layers from Postgis to remote mapserver or cartoweb WFS clients using RSS feeds? Is this practicable/more simple/or a nightmare??I am working on distributing attribute information in a simple text/reporting dashboard, which will have a WFS client- so would like to explore if RSS is a possible method to set up and distribute content for remote user ( very non-technical people) viewing.
Glenn,You might be interested in a Google group where we talk about RSS/Atom/REST/GIS. See http://groups.google.com/group/geo-web-rest
I'll also be talking about Atom/GIS at Foss4G. Anyway, the answer is yes. Here is one example: http://www.mapbuzz.com/map_feature/606We have our own server software that does it, as opposed to a PostGIS built-in function. But its not hard to do.
Thanks, Charlie
