Re: [mapserver-users] Mapserver docs and i18n
Hello, Thanks Thomas it is interesting to get I18n directly inside Sphinx. I know that other project are going to use it also, as QGIS. Interesting because QGIS project will use Pootle with GitHub [1]. Contributor can work on the translation either via Pottl, text file or Ktranslator (or any application working on translation file). The drawbacks is that it needs works from translator to move their translation to the new system. It is better to choose quickly wich way we choose because I have some file in my file (almost all mapfile section has been translated). I have no opinion at this moment because I can help translating MapServer doc directly via GitHub but it seems that some people are enjoying working with Pootle as it really simplifies the process. I will probably use the QGIS pootle infrastructure also. @Thomas: I am using diff file for GDAL translation and it is quiet easy to see what have been changed. Thanks anyway, Y.

Re: [mapserver-users] Mapserver docs and i18n
Hi Thomas, I'm all for simplifying the translation workflow.

Re: [mapserver-users] mapserver-users Digest, Vol 54, Issue 5
Flavio, Thank you very much for sharing. Just like Mike's, your information is also very helpful. I really appreciate it. Follow your link, I see a rich inventory of web services offered by ESRI, which are available through ARCGIS Server API interface. If I understand it correctly, I need to have ARC GIS Server in order to use those web services in my web application or in my smart phone application developed with SDK. Do let me know if I am wrong. The use of Map Service Layers created with MapServer on the other hand doesn't require any expensive software. However, there is no big player like ESRI to compile a list of MapServer map service layers out there in the world. This leads to my other question. I know I can load MapServer map service layers into all kinds of desktop clients such as UDig, QGIS, etc. How about service layers created by ARCGIS Server? Can I do the same thing?

So it doesn't hold data in memory like ArcGIS Server does. Also, each MapServer session (since its cgi) is independent of each other so there is no service to go down. As long as Apache is running, so is MapServer. I find that MapServer scales much better for large numbers of request and multiple maps. ArcGIS Server does well with smaller data sets and less services (due to ram issues). ArcGIS server can be faster to start with, since you are composing your maps graphically, but I find
