Hi Patrick (and all),
My organization went ahead and installed Picasa 3.0 for Linux
after I wrote them a nice letter explaining why the software is so
useful. It works beautifully! I hope Google will continue supporting
Picasa on linux, either on Wine or standalone. The important thing is
to have a local installation (not cloud-based). I work for a national
research center that is highly concerned about security, so it would
also be important for the linux version to be patched when security
issues arise. Does the current version get updates/patches? If people
see that Picasa for Linux will stick around, I'm pretty sure it will
start to gain greater adoption from the scientific community - it is
just a fantastic way to organize image-based data.
