>MDID 2 Online Demo Available, 4/26/2004
>
>We invite you to try out the test version of MDID 2 with the
>new online demo. It's easy; just fill in the form to request
>an account and a password will be emailed to you right away.
>Then log in with your email address and password to get a
>sneak preview of the MDID 2 features and enhancements. The
>demo is available from the new MDID 2 web site:
>http://mdid.org.
>
>Things to know about the MDID 2 demo:
>
>* Using your demo account you can try out all of the browser-
>based functions available to a typical instructor including
>searching image collections, creating slideshows, viewing
>slideshows, annotating slideshows, uploading images to a
>personal collection, and packaging slideshows for offline
>viewing.
>
>* Your demo account will expire after seven days of
>inactivity. You can request a new demo account from the login
>page if you need access again.
>
>* The browser-based slideshow viewer in this demo has been
>set to display images in a medium-sized format of 800x800
>pixels or smaller.
>
>* The single image download and slideshow package download in
>this demo have been set to use larger images, if available.
>The AICT and Saskia sample collections provide larger size
>images up to 3000x3000 pixels.
>
>* Your demo account will be limited to uploading twenty
>images to your personal collection.
>
>* Other demo users will be able to see your name listed as a
>slideshow author and will be able to view any slideshows that
>you create and un-archive.
>
>* The demo does not include the MDID ImageViewer, which is a
>separate application for presenting full screen slideshows in
>the classroom.
>
>* The demo also does not include collection administration
>functions related to setting up collections and adding images
>and cataloging data, or system administration functions
>related to implementing and configuring the system.
>
>MDID 2 is still in the testing phase, so you may encounter an
>occasional bug or inconsistency in the demo. Please feel
>free to report any problems and send your comments and
>suggestions to [log in to unmask] We sincerely appreciate your
>interest and your feedback.
>
>We are very grateful to the content providers who have
>provided images for the sample collections in the demo:
