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!).

Best,

Roger Howard
