Asle,
You have laid out a good list of tools. What is the problem that you are trying to solve? The answer to your 'what next' really depends on what you are trying to do.
David.

Hi,
I am a newbie and have installed Mapserver 5.2.1 on OS X Server 10.5. I have been able to display maps that I exported from QGIS and though some problems are displaying the maps.
Now the next step is to get a framework around the maps and I have tried MapScript but I don´t have PHP CGI on the server :-(
I also have tried GeoServer which I really don´t understand because I have downloaded the GeoServer.app and when I run it I have no idea how to configure it since all the docs talk about using the "war" file but I can´t find anything about using the GeoServer.app. I also am trying OpenLayers with a little success.
I would be glad for any tips as to where I should go from here. I have installed postgreSQL and POSTGIS and my goal is to write mapdata to postgreSQL and display maps for that source. I also want to be able to enter data into the maps i.ex. click a point in the map and enter location data for that coordinate that is written to database so it is displayed later.
I am glad for any ideas for a newbie :-)
