[OSGeo-Discuss] I suggest overview page for osgeo projects and pointers to applications using osgeo projects.

[Cameron Shorter]

Lee,
This is a good point and something we need to address.
We have started writing a guide for webmapping clients at
http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Choosing_a_Web_Mapping_Platform but the 
page still needs more content.

Also, Paul's doc is at 
http://www.refractions.net/white_papers/oss_briefing/2006-06-OSS-Briefing.pdf

You might be interested in a simple demo I put together recently for 
tracking weeds on mapsheets in South Australia.
A user can click on a mapseet to get more information about it, then 
edit and save the attributes. This simple demo is built using Mapbuilder 
which saves data to a WFS-T (in this case geoserver). You are welcome to 
the code if you want it.
