[Mapserver-west] Intro: Ken Sanderson, Miistakis Institute, Calgary AB

I like the functionality for adding photo's and documents, and the 
annotation and email tool looks pretty slicl. What data is being 
collected for each 'tree' and to what purpose is the project? Does the 
annotation and email tool just create a jpg that then gets emailed to an 
admin?

I suspect our methods are similiar, mine too is being done using 
php/mapscript and Adodb.
