Which is welcome!

In the spirit of putting something together, I’ve recently been working on our group’s thoughts about code and licenses (that’s the Digital Scholarship Group at Northeastern University). In particular, this really needed some…[Read more]

I hope the many Omeka users and hackers in NYC will contribute!

I’m working on some guides toward what the Omeka community has said they want more of. It’ll be up and ready on Monday.

Any level of Omeka hacking/theming/coding is great for contributing. You’ll solidify what you’ve already learned, and…[Read more]

That has made us curious about who all of you are, and what can we do better to help you.

With that in mind, we’ve put together a short survey to get to know you better. It’ll take about…[Read more]

Please share widely if so inclined! It seemed like the Omeka crowd and DPLA and Ada Lovelace Day might have some happy overlap.

We want to invite you to get involved with the DPLA Ada Lovelace Day, a coordinated, multi-community event happening on October 13, 2015. The goal of this day is to inspire and guide…[Read more]

That said, depending on what “integration” means, there might be some options.

If you want to put items from Omeka into a WordPress site, the EmbedCodes plugin might work.

If you want blogging alongside an Omeka…[Read more]

If you haven’t already, you might float out a request on the Omeka designer/developer marketplace forum.

I’d say it’ll also help to define a sense of what kinds of building / customization you anticipate. Much can be done via the admin UI and shortcodes. Theme tweaking and customization is a different story, and customized…[Read more]

Excellent! Your update came just as I was typing a reply that the process of sending out the 17,000+ emails was still running, so it was likely just waiting for it’s place in the queue!

However, the CSV that generates only includes Item metadata and files.

If you can wait a few weeks, though, Omeka.net will be updated to the latest version of Omeka, which includes API access. There is a separate Omeka plugin that you…[Read more]

It won’t break themes or plugins, for example.

You could look through the plugin to see how it works. Most of the guts are in the views folder, so you could probably copy a lot of that.

Most other parts of Omeka homepages can also be built with the various other shortcodes.

Regarding Omeka and preservation, I see two different levels: preservation proper — including things like checksums on files and maintaining that integrity, confirming sameness of two different files, etc. — and backup management. From what I gather, different groups or institutions have a variety of levels of need between those.
