Hi, Phil. We use Fedora Commons at University of Virginia, and we're in the process of rolling out Blacklight as our front end. You can see an example of it at http://blacklight.betech.virginia.edu. This allows us to maintain a single index containing all of our bibliographic holdings from our library, along with items from our Fedora digital repository. I hope you'll be able to see the images, since in many cases they're IP restricted in Fedora, but here is an example of our image collection, stored in Fedora and displayed with Blacklight: http://blacklight.betech.virginia.edu/catalog?collection_facet=UVa +Image+Collection And here is a search for TEI text objects, also from our Fedora repository: http://blacklight.betech.virginia.edu/?collection_facet=UVa+Library +Text&page=2 This project is still in development, so I hope you won't hit any bugs, but please let me know if you do. We're pretty excited about delivering our Fedora content in this way. Blacklight is open source (http://blacklight.rubyforge.org/) and we would love to have more development partners. There's also an effort to create a Blacklight front end for Miradora (but I can't find a website for this, sorry). Let me know if you want more information, or better yet, join the mailing list.
