Yes, it's a deployed thing. Although it does only have quite a lightweight footprint.
Thinking outside the box, as it were and forgive the pun, this is a far stretch - I know google enterprise allows you to upload data and feed it out as a wms (quite a new development - you'd need to be an enterprise client). Possibly something like geocommons / giscloud may allow you to upload data and do the same. Hope it helps.. Toby On 9 October 2012 21:26, Mike Ryan <[email protected]> wrote: > No, we have control.
