[mapserver-users] Need Help with Custom (Raster) Data as Input

[Muizudeen Kusimo]

Dear All,

I appreciate the responses I have received so far but I am new to GIS so
please do not take offense at my (trivial) questions.

I want to:
a) Build a web application like Google Maps.

I have:
b) Little map data that needs to be re-drawn due to it's poor quality, lack
of geo-reference info and lack of coordinate grid.
c) Adjusted my map extents as advised by Rahkonen for display in Ka-Maps
without luck.
d) Being reading the manuals for MapServer, Ka-Map, OpenLayers and QGIS. I
hope to adopt either OpenLayers or Ka-Map as my UI + MapServer as my
backend.

I would like this list to:
e) Guide me on how to achieve my aim in (a) above using my choice of
technology in (d) below. Specifically, how do I prepare my poor maps (that
better be re-drawn) for the tools I am studying.
f) Offer any other useful advice.

Lastly, if my questions are too elementary for this list. Can someone please
point me to an appropriate list/website/irc channel.

Thanks in advance.
