Landon,
One recommendation: take gvSIG and continue developing. www.gvsig.gva.es
<http://www.gvsig.gva.es/>
Java, already has nice functionality (à la ArcView 3), connects to web
services.
Saludos.

Subject: [Geowanking] Steps To Creating A Simple Vector Based GIS
(Using FOSS...Of Course)

I was wondering if there 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 also sent this message to the OSGeo Discussions Mailing list, so I
apologize if you get it in your inbox twice.
