We're in the exact same position and of the same disposition as Deborah.

>Since we're new Insight users, we've been busily collection building, but holding back on releasing to the rest of the staff since it didn't seem worth it deploy the Java client to 350 workstations and then turn around and redo the process (and training) with the new Luna client. So, yes, we'll be implementing it and the sooner the better, so that I can stop saying "yes, you'll have this on your desktop soon."

>> Hello - reviving the Insight mailing list - I'm curious as to who will be moving to Insight 6.0 this summer?  The last message from Luna indicated that the new product will have higher memory requirements - I'm also wondering what size collections folks have these days - our Visual Resources Collection now houses 250K+ images (or will in the next few weeks) - we are planning to start a second collection - VRCII as we have been having difficulty loading the whole collection on our production server. Windows Enterprise Server may fix this problem - but that's at a pretty significant cost - so increased memory requirements have me worried.

>> We have done development on our local DL application - including facets and more advanced functionality, the cross-collection search from this page also will return results from our Contentdm collections - home of our Yale Daily News newspaper digitization project, see: http://www.library.yale.edu/libraries/digcoll.html .
>> 
>> 
>> 
>> Our upgrade to 6.0 will depend on its release and resource requirements - if it comes too late in the summer - it will not be considered until Christmas or next summer most likely.
