Bart,

I think it would be reasonable to establish a mailing list for such discussions,
or even hold them on mapserver-dev if they aren't too volumous.  I do think
you will find a variety of opinions on how to approach the problem but it is
worth discussing.

I'm sure Howard would be happy to provide you with edit previledges
sufficient to post documents in a sub-area for this project, if you don't
already have them.

As for the other mentions of other projects that support "save to
mapfile", that is quite a bit different than an entirely mapfile oriented
management interface (IMHO).

Best regards,
