To enhance on that: I hope to be part of the OME meeting, and actually 
hope even more for a mini-hackathon with one or two OME guys (you know who 
youa are) to make a kick-ass ImageJ frontend for OMERO.

IMHO such a frontend would not only give OMERO a better visibility, but 
make it also much more straight-forward for common users to access the 
databases (both read and write).

Which would naturally give rise to a better visibility and as a 
consequence probably also popularity of OMERO.
