[Clipart] DMS 0.11 Released

[Mike Traum]

Bryce,
I downloaded and installed DMS from cvs hoping to test some concepts
for some client-side development ideas I have, using soap to access
the dms. Is there a url that I can hit on the dms server that will
provide a wsdl?

Or, is there documentation somewhere on the api?

Thanks,
Mike
