[MCN-L] Djatoka client comments?

[Rob Lancefield on lists]

Thanks, Ethan. That's pretty much where I've been headed so far, too, in 
what seems otherwise to be close to a toss-up; the current-view outline 
box on small reference image is a big plus.

Any other comments out there?

Hi Rob,

I have used both.  I prefer the viewer based on IIPMooViewer purely for
aesthetic reasons.  I like the thumbnail in the corner with the small box
that shows one's zoomed position on the current layer and one's ability to
navigate with that box.  There's also the button to export whatever is in
the viewer to a downloadable jpg, so that's potentially useful to patrons.

Hi all,

Any djatoka users out there?

We're on the brink of deciding between two candidates as open-source 
AJAX client implementations for working with navigable images served 
with resolution on demand by djatoka server and a JPEG 2000 back-end.

The two candidates are Djatoka OpenURL, based on OpenLayers, and Djatoka 
Viewer, based on IIPMooViewer. We have test pages up and running with 
both, and based on lots of search-engine-findable resources, both seem 
like good candidates based on functional needs and general factors; so I 
thought I'd ask here if anyone has actually been using either or both.

Any hands-on tales of use cases or applications in museum contexts that 
might suggest one of these tools would be preferable to the other?

thanks,
Rob
