Just as FYI to people who are interested...    I just released a site that
includes 8 Exhibits and 1 Timeline.  I tried to integrate the Exhibit-type
of functionality (facets and multi-panel views) into the site as much as
possible rather than keeping it separate.  People seem to be getting the
hang of the user interface.  They especially enjoy the speed at which they
can find information.  It's far from perfect and you'll find a few bugs here
and there.

Exhibit is also used as the main search egine for the site. I'm curious how
that's going to work out.  Of course, it's not a full text search but with
appropriate tagging it just might work.  I had thought about including
textual summaries as items into the Exhibit database, however, it
dramatically increases the size of the database; fine for only a small
number of records.

I should also say "Thank You!" to the Simile Widget developers/committers
and other contributors to the list.  It's a great resource and central to
how this sites is designed.  I've asked many questions directly related to
my work on this site and you've supplied me with just as many helpful
answers. Thanks.

- John
