- post-requisite? (similar to Web)
-
bin/omero admin start doesn't mean your finished:

nightshade upgrade

SPW Web Demo
- method for getting size of plate
- return grid of thumbnails as one image with map on top
- (doing similar things for all browsing locations)
- latency on bulk calls
- caching to use advantage of web
- strips of thumbnails instead of whole grid
- detecting distant of user (e.g. 500ms/128kb) choosing individ. thumbs
- or options like insight login
- keeping thumbnails
- row/col naming, getting dimensions right.
- focus on field view rather than embedded viewer
- click on B2, maybe larger thumbnail, get metadata, without waiting on viewer
- leaving large space for "field view"
- adding annotations on right side
- customization of portlets vs. management/metadata of namespaces
- resizing thumbnail box
- zooming thumbnails?
- navigating to PREV|NEXT plate
- crumbs dropdown which shows other plates
- sorting!
