Not currently, although I do need to set up a demo site soon. And I

In the 2.6 demo, you just click on the "Census -cities" catalog
entry and you can use the Layer Tools to create/edit/delete features
in that layer (thanks to the new ' activate="true" ' Layer tag in
the mapbook )<br>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span
style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">That's
not true. GeoMoose supports editing via WFS-T, it does
not dictate the source of the WFS-T. The provider of
the WFS-T service dictates the underlying data source.
For GeoServer, there are a litany of database to which
it is perfectly happy to connect. I specifically said
*databases* because editing a file is really not a good
idea. There exist a few reasons for this but the most
important is probably dealing with concurrency. I tend
to use GeoServer for WFS-T testing and implementation
because it's really damn easy. (Download, create start
up script, win.)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span
style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">Files,
natively, don't have a good way of handling what happens
when two users do something to the file at the same
time. If both you and I both changed the shape of a
polygon, or a label, or other attribute, at the same
time, there's no good way for a file to resolve these
changes. A server might be able to do some good work to
make this type of operation work but I'd highly suggest
AVOIDING using a multi-user file-based system. The
generally accepted method is to make something similar
to a PostGIS database and offer exports to Shapefiles.
