I have gotten MapSurfer to work fine, and for what it is, it works well.
It basically is a frames-based Map viewer that displays locally hosted
mapfiles via the CGI Mapserver interface.  Personally, I find it hard to
extend, as all of the logic is embedded in DHTML/Javascript.  The only
part that I couldn't get to work was the reference map (but that's
certainly because I didn't care about it.)

It is an excellent testbed for playing with mapfiles while I develop the
rest of my site.

For a more integrated system, I am also looking at a component framework,
and am playing with Chameleon and p.mapper.  I don't have enough
experience with either to provide input here.

If you want to see MapSurfer, email me and I'll get you a
username/password to my testbed site.
