This looks very cool and considering that I've already been using aDORe 
as a repository for storing a large (very large) number of scanned 
images (in JPEG2000 format) it's probably something that I should look at.

I've already got a session proposal submitted for Code4Lib but I doubt 
I'll be able to do anything for a pre-conference since I also hope to be 
attending the JA-SIG conference the week after (I'm on the planning 
committee...again) and with travel budgets getting cut right and left 
and/or under extreme scrutiny I'm going to have a difficult time as it 
is justifying attending both conferences.  After Roy's recent posting 
about the conference location I'm even more hyped about going to 
Code4Lib but as we're starting to build up the program from the JA-SIG 
conference I'm getting more hyped about that as well.
