Jeff, Please feel free to contact me at any time to discuss Artesia - they have a number of edu and cultural heritage clients now besides us (I know Stanford just announced a big deployment with them, and there's also the Courtauld in the UK and a few others). That said, we've already completed our initial implementation - for our communications folks - and that went pretty well. We're now moving into the core image assets from the museum and library collections.
After taking a look at 4homepages I wouldn't really consider it a DAM - it's really an online gallery tool, and I'm not clear what it offers over similar, free packages. There are at least dozens - if not many more - quality PHP/MySQL-based tools for hosting all types of online image galleries, with lots of variety in features. I have used both Gallery and Coppermine a lot, but there are many many more. None of these is properly a DAM system, but for many uses they are enough. Just not clear what 4homepages offers that would warrant the more restrictive licensing. Nancy - sorry to omit Insight! Yes, a very nice platform... hard to compare to other applications for sure, it's pretty unique (in a good way!).
