[MCN-L] Museum Code Repository
Ah great, good to know it looks like our setup is quite similar - the read only trick is a good tip, we've used the incognito flag to do a similar thing. Oh also turning off any right click gestures. Alas a trip to Montreal would be great :) I'll make do with following up the notes - thanks!

And if your museum (gallery, library, archive, archaeology and cultural heritage service) has an API, linked and open data service for open cultural data, please add it to http://museum-api.pbworks.com/w/page/21933420/Museum%C2%A0APIs (or check that the current listing is correct). That github collection is the kick I need to go back and update my code snippets... There's a bunch of Europeana/CultureGrid stuff but it's probably out of date already - if anyone's been working with those APIs I'd love to see your libraries.
