author's gravatar

The Omeka team is reaching for the clouds. After more than a year of planning and development, we are very pleased to announce the impending arrival of Omeka.net, a hosted web service that will bring standards-based online collections and exhibitions to the internet cloud. Be first in line for an invitation to try the free Omeka.net Alpha, including a special bundle of plugins, themes, and storage, when it launches in April.

Omeka.net will expand Omeka’s current offerings with a completely web-based service. No server or programming experience required. Similar to services offered by WordPress, the popular open-source blogging software, with the launch of Omeka.net users will be able to sign up for a free hosted Omeka site. Just create a username and password, and your online collection or exhibition is up and running.

This new hosted web service will further the Omeka project’s mission to make collections-based online publishing more accessible to small cultural heritage institutions, individual scholars, enthusiasts, educators, and students.

With Omeka.net, your online exhibit is one click away.

Sign up today.

    I have gone there and signed up a few days ago. I had not received anything for a few days and when I applied again, I received a message saying that an invitation had been emailed to me. I have received none.

    The invitations will be coming in April, and rolling out incrementally. We’ve been bombarded with requests, and we will not be able to send invitations to everyone at once.

    The invitations will be coming, don’t worry. Thanks for your patience.

Right now you can get on the list for a free site by following this link. [...]
