Information on where to place MAP files should be easy to find in the documentation
There was a recent post on mapserver-users about security issues when having map files readable by the web server. I tried to find a good place to refer to in the documentation when answering, but it was not easy to find. I suggest that information about how to set up map files and data sources for Mapserver is included in the introduction.
Maybe we need an "Anatomy of a MapServer Application" document where we could describe a recommended deployment architecture. I've always done that as part of any workshops on MapServer.

That is a good idea! It will have to be visible and occur "early" in the documentation. Some good index entries could also help.
What’s the best way to prototype a webpage on a topic like this? Would be nice to build something and then give time for review.
If you have some material, it should be OK to add it somewhere in the introduction and then fix it incrementally. This issue can be used for feedback / input.
You could prototype it using the github pages (http://pages.github.com/)
