Steve, thank you for this clarification!


Robert:

We (the initiators of OLE) have successfully used the OpenLayers Editor
OLE in several projects and it does indeed work.

OLE is only the JavaScript library. Of course you have to implement some
strategy to save your data. We provide at least four examples: local
storage and server backends based on mapfish, Zend PHP and Drupal.
Please see GitHub [1] or our blog [2] for details. The demo at
http://ole.geops.de uses local storage. Try it: Draw some geometries,
close your browser, open it again and go back to the demo. Your data
will still be there.

For the web gis stack you mention, I would like to point you to Cartaro
[3]. This includes GeoServer, OpenLayers, OLE, PostgreSQL/PostGIS and on
top of it all the CMS drupal.
