Thanks for this kind of feedback. Thats very helpful. The intention is to start with this goal, and if we have to deviate from this path, to document accordingly. > 2.

The current thoughts wrt to this sort of functionality are more to do with the content producers of exhibits than the consumers. But your suggestion is an interesting one; could you elaborate a bit on this? We hope to start using the wiki to capture community suggestions for shaping curret design / future consideration so any details you can provide would be helpful. > > * Am I missing something?

Good catch ;) We changed the name to Exhibit 3.0 after this workshop as not to confuse folks (even more) with the release of Exhibit 2.0 back in 2007. Hopefully, we'll do the job right, and eventually this will all just be known as Exhibit in the (near) future ;) Until then, I suspect any name will have some confusion associated with it - Exhibit 3.0 hopefully less than others. --e > > Many thanks for the team's continued efforts on this truly excellent > tool. > > -Mark > > > On Jan 14, 3:07 pm, mackenzie <[email protected]> wrote: >> I'm delighted to announce the launch of a new "Exhibit 3.0" project: a >> collaboration of the original Simile project team including the MIT >> Libraries, MIT CSAIL, and Zepheira, with funding and support from the >> U.S. Library of Congress. >> >> Exhibit 3.0 will build on the success of the current Exhibit tool but >> redesign it to be far more scalable, flexible and modular.
