[ome-users] Simple Question, OME or OMERO?

[Jerome Avondo]

hi,

Thank you for the info. 

I managed to get the OMERO server setup and had a play with the clients. Looks very nice, but it seems to be missing alot of the functionality of OME.

So it seems OME is the only real way forward to address the needs of the Lab I am in. We use Matlab quite extensively for our image analysis, so Matlab integration is a requirement.

I am still not clear to why the Open Microscopy Group has these two projects. So have the following questions I think I should try and understand before I make a decision.

1) Is OMERO planned to one day substitute OME?

2) If (1) is true will moving from OME to OMERO be feasable?

3) If (1) is true again, whats wrong with OME?

I had a good look around the website but couldnt really find any information regarding this. If anybody could shed some ligth I would greatly appreciate. Maybe I just misunderstood something....

Regards,

j.
