At work, we've been doing a lot of development using the Omeka framework. We've implemented plugins to enable the software to interact with our Fedora repository, work with geo-rectified images, build in a search interface with Solr, and another one...

We're currently starting a project at the Scholars' Lab in which we're going to use Omeka. We're a Rails shop and use Capistrano to deploy projects to our staging and production servers all the time. Since I had read that Capistrano didn't need to be for...
