I'm looking for a web editor (similar to OpenStreetMap) that works with a map server (PostGIS). This should permit editing and creation of new structures on a map.
What is the best option?

1can you clarify your question - e.g. postgis is a database not a map server. Are you wedded to postgis as your db? what exactly are you trying to achieve? do you have a client in mind or are standards important? – Ian Turton♦ Dec 7 '12 at 13:05

I would like to work with postgis as database. And I want to create a map server for traffic simulation which allow add and edit traffic symbols. I don't have any client in mind. – Joana Sousa Dec 7 '12 at 13:41

How do you define best? Easiest to set up? Easiest to use? – R.K. Dec 7 '12 at 14:29

you can check out OpenLayers Editor from http://ole.geops.de/.
OpenLayers Editor is a web-based tool for easy and precise creation of spatial data. It is build purely with HTML and JavaScript and thus runs on the desktop and mobile devices without plug-ins. General
Based on OpenLayers Easily customizable and extensible Small and fast Open SourceEditor
Supports point, path and polygon geometry types Vector layer support (for example WFS) Snapping to existing features, guide lines or features from external data sources CAD-like feature construction Undo and redo Modify geometries Drag geometries Draw hole into polygonsServer-side geometry processing
Split polygons and lines Merge polygons Clean and validate geometries Includes Drupal and Zend Framework integration Based on PostGIS geometry processing
Example
editor = new OpenLayers.Editor(map, {
activeControls: ['SnappingSettings', 'SplitFeature', 'MergeFeature', 'CleanFeature'],
featureTypes: ['polygon', 'path', 'point']
});
editor.startEditMode();
i hope it helps you....

Did you see that @Mapperz already posted this suggestion for OpenLayers? – RyanDalton Dec 7 '12 at 16:39

The OpenGeo Suite has a web editor in the form of GeoExplorer. Just add your PostGIS data to the Geoserver component. Load the GeoServer layers in GeoExplorer and edit away.
You can add and edit symbols/icons using the Layer Styles option.

If it must be a web editor then GeoDjango comes with this functionality. The admin feature permits basic editing of map features. It is possible to incorporate the built-in editing functions into your own pages.

Openlayers comes with editing tools http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/editingtoolbar.html
If your know drupal then there is a nice OpenLayers Editor (beta3)
