<p class=MsoNormal>Hi folks,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I am new to OpenLayers and I wanted to get some rough
feedback on an implementation I have in mind. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>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?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Any tutorials on the web that you could point me to would be
helpful. Thank you for your feedback.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
