[Labs-l] What is the status of the ZoomViewer feature?

[Daniel Schwen]

Hi,
the ZoomViewer is my project. Initial attempts to get it working on
labs were not fruitful.
I'd prefer to have an extra instance/project for this tool. This would
allow me more control to customize the installed software.
The ZoomViewer is also using a rather large amount of disk space on
the toolserver to maintain a cache of the multiresolution files
necessary for the progressive loading.

@Andrew, would it be possible to set up a labs project for this?
Best,
Daniel
