Given what appears to be rather lightweight requirements (at least data wise) I'd recommend the mapserver route (easier that setting up a full java stack imho, but others may differ on that score and perhaps you already have such a setup available). Few questions: Do you already have a web server earmarked for it, and if so, what sort of server (IIS, apache...) How is your data stored (and how would you prefer it stored)? Shapefile (quite possibly a fair choice for a small infrequently updated data set), PostGIS, ... FWIW, I'd also consider a basic WMS with the WFS if only to provide a representation of what's in the WFS for those trying to get their heads around what WFS means.

[OSGeo-Discuss] Options for setting up a Web Feature Service
Hello osgeo people, I am a member of a professional institution that is considering setting up a web feature service that publishes point locations, of members and offices, in a global context. The idea being to, instead of producing a map directly, to instead just publish the WFS, which makes the information available for mash-ups. The published data is likely to have a very small volume and only be updated a few times per annum. How do you go about setting up a WFS?
