Does Omeka serve as the core infrastructure for your key digital projects?
If you said yes to any of these questions, you probably have come to rely on Omeka for its stability, usability, and support.
Omeka is a reliable choice for so much digital library, archive, museum, and scholarly work is because of the maintenance and support provided by the core Omeka Team.
This dedicated group of individuals from the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media works hard everyday to maintain the core software, nearly 50 plugins, and a host of themes, all while being responsible for other major projects and development work. They test and document the software. They ensure that every update to the core, plugin, and theme functions together, so that it’s as easy to use as possible. They answer your questions–thousands of them–on the forums and the developer list. They respond to feature requests, and evaluate and merge pull requests. And, they continue to make the software better.
Today, on Mason’s Day of Giving, we ask you to consider making a donation to show your appreciation for the work of the Omeka Team, and to sustain the software into the future.
