[Geomoose-users] how to install geomoose?

[Nitin Gadia]

To give some background - Broadly speaking, I want to help create an open
online mapping platform like openstreetmap that does polygons (OSM only does
lines).

Basically, I'm envisioning something where someone can add polygons such as
historical nations, and then be able to animate them. I should be able to
type in, say, "1900" and see the way the world was then. I can then edit a
map, changing and adding polygons, and their colors and metadata. I should
also be able to view areas by, say, population density and other statistics.

I've received a great deal of help on the OSGeo general mailing list:

(2, continued)

I was thinking of installing openlayers first, but if I just installed
geomoose, I'd get it all done at once...
As of now, I am considering installing both mapserver via geomoose and
geoserver, and trying them both out.


Some more questions:
Does anyone think there is a way I can just use the tools through a server
providing the tools as a free service?
If I should just go ahead and install everything on my own server, I was
thinking of setting up a server through godaddy, a third-party service. Is
this a bad idea? I don't want to have any problems, and they're good with
customer support. I have no experience setting up a server on my own...
