Nuri,

I would encourage you to be more specific about what you want to 
accomplish.   Are you digitizing shapes over an image?  Do you 
need snapping or other advanced editing features?  

The obvious solution to creating shapefiles is to use ArcView or
ArcGIS.   You could also use OpenEV but it can be somewhat 
clumsy for some sorts of vector editing operations, and lacks things
like snapping.  

I am assuming you want a desktop editing application.  Perhaps you
meant a web based editing solution through mapserver?  If so, I 
suggest you make that clearer.

Best regards,
