[OpenLayers-Users] using openlayers for VGI application

[Ben Sigrist]

Hi folks,

 

I am new to OpenLayers and I wanted to get some rough feedback on an
implementation I have in mind.  

 

We would like to collect information from the public as points and
possibly polylines.  I would like to use OpenLayers to display the
basemap and for the user to input data using the geometry tools.  As
far as storing that data, would it be feasible to use a public Google
Spreadsheet to store the data?  The idea of having everything client
side (and on Google's server side) is appealing.  Or is it better to
have that data entered into a PostGIS database?

 

Any tutorials on the web that you could point me to would be helpful.
Thank you for your feedback.
