[Dspace-general] Image libraries

[Mark Diggory]

You don't necessarily need Manakin to get DSpace to show thumbs in  
search results, its configurable out of the box. But I think what  
they are looking for is an AJAX/GWT sort of look and feel in any of  
these applications. I'm not sure that any support that. Are there any  
customizations on Manakin or DSpace out there that work with AJAX? I  
think the really interesting ones will arise out of the Facetted  
Browse work of Simile/Dwell...
