We received the mail, but more or less none of the geoserver hackers
are active during the weekend. Most of us use/develop Geoserver within
our daily job.

Hum... well, you'll need a mapping component, a routing component, and some kind of search engine. I never developed such an app, but
I guess you can:
* user geoserver and postgis on the server side
* solve the routing part with pgRouting (http://www.postlbs.org/postlbs-cms/en/node/7), there you can find
a geocoder too. Or you can use the gt2-graph package in geotools, if
you have custom needs or prefer to code in java.
* generate maps using the wms protocol and geoserver
2-can the geoserver ditinguish the type of building like resturant ,hospitals , ets..?
Sure, geoserver will use whatever column you provide in your tables
and can use it both for searches and in map styling.
3- what is the drawing map program i need to paint my map whith this buildings and will be understood by geoserver?
Geoserver is your painting program. You'll have to specify how
painting is to be performed using SLD (styled layer descriptor).
Please, have a look at geoserver's docs for details:

Hope this helps.
