[MGSN-Dev] GSML Docs (finally)

[James C. <jw...@st...>]

MGSN Dev:

I've released some initial documentation on GSML, the Ground Station
Markup Language, which is the command and control protocol used by
Mercury.  They are online at:  http://mgsn.sourceforge.net/gsml/index.php.

We've recently moved from our home brewed specification file to defining
GSML in XML schema.  This allows us more diverse message structures.  We
also take advantage of the data binding softare, Castor.  We are
generating about 40K lines of code from about 2K lines.  Any changes to
the spec can be immediately updated in the Java source code used to
manipulate GSML messages.

Work is still underway on the 0.2.0 specification.  Any feedback would be
greatly appreciated.
