users creating data

[Stephen Lime]

Just to  clear things up. MapServer (the CGI executable) can't write shapefiles
and won't be able to do that. Too hard to do in general fashion. However, MapScript
CAN write shapefiles (with the help of XBase module). All you'd really need is an
applet capable of creating features and a MapScript program could handle the
output. MapServer or MapScript can certainly be used to provide contex (i.e. maps)
for use in digitizing. Note that there are lot's of potential issues in this (topology,
editing existing features, data QA, etc...).
