 John (and others),

 I keep forgetting to relay this little tidbit.  GeoMoose is built on top of 
 OpenLayers, so all of it's data sources are theoretically, feasible as 
 datsources as well.

 The Map View is all OpenLayers.

Hi everyone

I should first mention that I'm one of the developpers of OpenLayers,
GeoExt and MapFish.

I recently took a quick look at GeoMoose (2.0). From my understanding
GeoMoose provides an OpenLayers-based application that can be
customized by editing configuration files. It provides an
out-of-the-box solution that makes it easy for non-developers to
create web-mapping applications with typical tools (search, measure
distances/areas, etc.). People from GeoMoose, please correct me if my
understanding is wrong or inaccurate.

In contrast, GeoExt doesn't provide an application, it provides a
JavaScript library, based on which developers can create applications.
GeoExt is complementary to OpenLayers, it brings RIA (Rich Internet
Applications) type components, like a layer tree, a legend panel, a
feature grid, etc. I think the GeoExt examples concretely show what
GeoExt provides and how to use GeoExt.

MapFish is a complete framework for creating web-mapping apps. I won't
describe MapFish in detail here, but I just want to make it clear that
MapFish does not either provide an application, it is a framework for
developers to create OpenLayers- and GeoExt-based web-mapping user
interfaces. Basically MapFish provides tools to create
ready-to-extend web-mapping apps, and to create web services for
searching and editing geographic objects.

Thanks, and west wishes to all for 2010,

 I'm looking for a web mapping package that can be used to show 15 - 20
 datasets at once.  These data just need to be turned on/off and maybe an
 identify/query feature.  Data are points, lines, polygons, and rasters
 (aerial imagery, DEMs, etc...)   Basically, I'm looking for a way to show
 these datasets to a few dozen colleagues located in various depts.
 

It's not a typical web mapping solution, but you may want to look at 
Geopublisher. You would have to convert the vector data to Shapes, and the 
raster data to GeoTIff or ArcASCII and then it should be pretty straight 
forward to produce a CD or a JavaWebStart atlas that shows you data.
