[postgis-devel] trying PostGIS online

[Nicklas Avén]

Hallo 
 
I have had an idea about a site where people can try and test postgis online. 
Working with spatial data in db-environment I think a lot of people seems like abstract and maybe suspect and
their picture of analyse spatial data is often tightly connected to some Arc-products.
 
So, now I have come up with something as a start. 
 
The basic idea is that a sql-string generates a view or a table that mapserver produces a transparent gif-image from.
The idea of working with transparent images is that you can produce many (three in the application of today) images that will be put on top of each other. The first defines the extent and the others will be showed on top.
