David,
You could go with something in GeoMoose as well. There is a demo
available that includes drawing tools, you would need to set up your
backend storage though on your own, with your tool of choice, but these
get you half way there. You can see a couple of demo sites with
drawing/edit tools already configured here:
http://geomoose.org/info/demo.html
Both of these demos are available as downloads as well.

Thanks Steve, I'll check out those projects. I just did a proof of concept
using the approach you describe with OpenLayers and WKT. Very nifty stuff.
Any gotchas to that approach?

Take a look at FeatureServer (or perhaps the WFS-T support in GeoServer or Tiny
WFS). Such tools would facilitate the writing of geometries
to a data store (e.g. PostGIS) that MapServer could read from. Of course you
could write your own tool to do that. We've used rails and serialized
geometries to/from OpenLayers as WKT easy enough.

Subject: Re: [mapserver-users] Allowing users to draw polygons on MapServer
maps
Hmm, this looks close to what I want:
http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/draw-feature.html
Any idea how I would export the polygons to a shapefile/database? What about
loading them from a previous session?
Thanks,
David

Hi All,
I've never used MapServer before, so this is definitely a newbie question.
I've read a bunch of the documentation and FAQ, but I haven't yet found a clear
answer to this question:
Can I use MapServer to host a map, on which my clients can draw polygons and
export them as shapefiles or into a database? If not, is there another (open
source) product that can?
Seems like one of the scripting toolkits could do this, but not without
significant custom front end work.
I think this is approximately accurate. Personally, I would probably use
GeoDjango/OpenLayers for this kind of task.
