[ka-Map-users] Design goals: Combining WMS servers and launching with zoom an layer parameters?

[Stefan F. Keller]

Hi Paul

Nice thing! I'd like to use this in our local map site
(http://webgis.hsr.ch) as well as in an experimental geo-spatial search
engine called geometa.info (http://geometa.info) which is language and
location aware. 

I'm referring to the posting of Daniel and Paul's original announcement and
I'd like to put this in bugzilla of course, if you think this is the right
place. I'm using currently an adapted version of InlineWMS:
http://www.geometa.info/map/world_demis2.html and I have two other questions
regarding the design goals of ka-map:

1. Can I use it as a self contained 'rich' client who combines one or
several WMS servers?

2. Can I start it with URL parameters - similar to Web Map Context Documents
(WMC) - so that ka-map launches zoomed in on a particular place with
specific layers (= WMS servers) turned on?

Regards
