[Gvsig_english] gvSIG 1.9/2.0 please add mapserver publish extension! Please add your comments!

[Wolfgang Qual]

Dear users, gvSIG-team  
I guess we're all curious about the release of the stable 1.9 and 
especially 2.0 of gvSIG. I really hope that this moment will com true 
very soon.
So many new features will then be available, especially regarding 
symbology, table functions and and... The release candidate (or call it 
unstable version) of 1.9
can be tested by us. Also, some extensions are already available ... 
_except_: the publish extension.
I really love this extension, as it allows me to create a nice mapfile 
out of my gvSIG (1.1.2) map. And I really need this function to be 
integrated in 1.9 and 2.0.
I assume that I am not the only one. Therefore, I would like to start a 
little discussion on this topic in order to find out:

* who needs this extension and
* for what purpose
* what should be included, what is missing

I have the feeling that the gvSIG team _would like to add this 
extension_ to the next version of gvSIG. However, I have also the 
feeling that they _would like to add all new_ symbology _options_ to the 
mapfile-export.
This is - in my opinion - not necessary. I would be very very happy, if 
gvSIG would allow me to create a more simple mapfile with basic options 
regarding symbology, labels and
reliable colour definition. Not much more. A simple extension would be 
far better than no publish extension at all. Switching from one gvSIG 
version to another just to be able to create a mapfile is no option for 
me at all.
I understand that you are busy with the refactoring and stabilization. 
But still, we should not forget this!
Again: any comments appreciated.
Keep on writing!

Best regards,
Wolfgang
