Well, all the Open Source GIS, like GRASS, Qgis, OpqnJUMP etc have their code 
for download. GRASS has a programmers guide (or of sorts).. will it not be of 
help.

was a good tutorial or article about creating a simple vector-based GIS using 
FOSS? I don’t want something too software specific. I’m really looking for 
something that covers the basic principles.
   
  I’m starting a new vector-based GIS for a volunteer group and I was hoping to 
find some “vendor-neutral” material in this area. I’ve been using the 
“Designing Geodatabases: Case Studies in GIS Data Modeling Book” by ESRI when I 
decided it would be nice to have a tutorial for people who decide to design 
their first GIS outside of ESRI’s world.
   
  I made an outline for such a document or tutorial which you can find here:
   
  http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=df5nfmf8_30rvgj7j
   
  I thought that I would try to review other material on the subject, if there 
was any, before I write the article.
   
  I appreciate any references or suggestions.

  P.S. – I’m going to shoot this off to the Geowanking list as well.
