Stuart, Congratulations on a major and impressive release of Mirador. The live demo is most wonderful on a desktop. It will be interesting to see how it looks on various mobile devices.
I am a new Community Rep for the DPLA with an interest in both grassroots Citizen Science/History projects, in general, and technical interests related to the intersection of cognitive computing and the Digital Humanities. Most specifically, as I will be attending #DPLAfest later this week, it is easy to see what a GREAT resource Mirador would be for use in DPLA hackathons and related community-coding projects. Are you already supporting the DPLA API? (http://dp.la/info/developers/codex/) If not, is it planned? If DPLA API support is something that interests you but hasn't hit the priority list, #DPLAfest would be a great place to find Kindred Spirits to help make that happen. And just to put a "bee in your Thinking Cap" -- as that is more productive than wasting it on your bonnet -- with just basic DPLA API support you could do a Proof-Of-Concept version of your live demo of Mirador exploring DPLA collections. That sure sounds like a demo that DPLA would happily feature in the "For Developers" section of the DPLA website. Add to that basic demo a how-to article with sample code and you open a pipeline to new Mirador community members/users AND the DPLA Developers Community gets a great resource for grassroots/indie projects. That would sure be a "win-win-win" for all parties. Will you or any Stanford colleagues be at #DPLAfest? If not, my wife Timlynn Babitsky and I -- we're project partners and both new DPLA Community Reps -- will be there and will happily provide a "slice of cycles" to keep an eye and ear out for opportunities to connect you with Kindred Spirits. Again, congratulations on your major release. Mirador is certainly a significant "Pay It Forward" chit in your Karmic Scorecard! :D Happy-Healthy Vibes, -: Jim :- @Jim_Salmons www.FactMiners.org www.SoftalkApple.com -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Stuart Snydman Sent: Tuesday, April 14, 2015 11:53 AM To: Museum Computer Network Listserv Subject: [MCN-L] Announcing Mirador 2.0 and projectmirador.org We are excited to (officially) announce the release of Mirador version 2.0. Please visit our new project website at http://projectmirador.org. Here you will find a live demo, a four minute screencast demonstrating Mirador 2.0's features, and links to the code repository and documentation (https://github.com/IIIF/mirador/). The 2.0 release of Mirador builds and improves upon the first release with major user interface improvements and a rich feature set. These include: Deep zoom and pan using OpenSeadragon Multiple viewing modes, including single image, two-page, horizontal scroll and thumbnail gallery Synchronized navigation of multi-image objects by filmstrip or table of contents (when available) Metadata view Comparison of multiple images in a fully configurable workspace State saving and bookmarking for sharing a workspace Embeddable in blogs and third-party web apps Annotation Notably, Mirador now supports viewing and creation of annotations on regions of images. The annotation functionality is fully compatible with the OpenAnnotation specification (http://www.openannotation.org/), and of course Mirador 2.0 is fully compliant with the IIIF Image and Presentation API's (http://iiif.io). A variety of features are in the backlog for the next version, and you can view the updated roadmap at https://github.com/IIIF/mirador/wiki/Mirador-2.1-Roadmap. Mirador 2.0 is the result of a gratifying global collaboration. Many thanks and congratulations to the lead development team, which consists of Drew Winget from Stanford University and Rashmi Singhal from Harvard University. Mirador 2.0 would not have been possible without contributions of code, advice, testing and support by many others at Harvard, Stanford and the IIIF community. See a full list of acknowledgements on the project website. As we look forward to subsequent releases, improvements and extensions to Mirador, we invite contributions of issues, bug fixes, and new features by others. If you are interested, please sign up for the [email protected] list, and head to Github to read the contributor guidelines and get started. -Stu Snydman **************************************** Stuart Snydman Associate Director for Digital Strategy Stanford University Libraries ps - pardon the cross-posts! _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to mcn-l, the listserv of the Museum Computer Network (http://www.mcn.edu) To post to this list, send messages to: [email protected] To unsubscribe or change mcn-l delivery options visit: http://mcn.edu/mailman/listinfo/mcn-l The MCN-L archives can be found at: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
