I started working on a web based shapefile builder in my spare time before
taking up a job full time in the web mapping area.  Hopefully I will
eventually get to finish it and get paid for my work too.

So far I have almost finished a server side cgi interface to the shapelib APIs
used and distributed by mapserv.  (Just one or 2 bugs not ironed out.)

If you want for info, or want to take the project further, then get in touch.

A rough design page can be found at:
http://cat.org.au/updatemap/doc/design.html

The source can be found at:
http://cat.org.au/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/updatemap/
It is not tarred up, but I can do that on request.

PS,
I suggest you also check out freegis.org for a free gis listing.
