Jamie, (adding in Blacklight-development list)...

This is cool. Super cool. Would you be willing to add UDVD to the Project Blacklight list of exemplar apps in the wiki? 

https://github.com/projectblacklight/blacklight/wiki/Examples

I'd be happy to do it for you, but in the spirit of the wiki (and hoping always to get more contributors!) it would be awesome to see you self-list. 

- Tom
