Like Adno, submit your IIIF projects to the NGI0 Commons Fund call

[Thierry Pasquier]

Hi IIIF community,

Here's some news about the Adno project. Adno is a user-friendly web
application designed for creating annotation series on online, static
images and IIIF-compliant images. Designed in collaboration with
cultural and scientific mediators, it enables users to create, present
and share guided or self-guided tours within images. Adno is also of
interest to researchers and has potential applications for a wide
range of users.

Development is ongoing, with numerous improvements and bug fixes
having been made. We are currently adapting Adno to enable the viewing
and annotation of medieval scrolls (documents that are very wide or
high).

I am delighted to announce that Adno has just received funding from
the NGI Zero Commons Fund, which is managed by the Dutch NLnet
Foundation.

NGI0 Commons Fund is a grant programme funding projects about
reclaiming the public nature of the internet, as part of the Next
Generation Internet initiative of the European Commission. The goal
of NGI Zero Commons Fund is to help deliver, mature and scale new
internet commons across the whole technology spectrum, from libre
silicon to middleware, from P2P infrastructure to convenient end user
applications. The NGI Zero Commons Fund focuses on developing and
maintaining internet commons that support the vision of a resilient,
trustworthy, sustainable and open technology stack which empowers
users and grants everyone full autonomy.

Adno is the first IIIF project to receive funding from this grant.
I hope there will be more. I encourage you to submit your proposals.
The next deadline is 1 June, and the application process is
straightforward. The NLnet team is fantastic and open to hearing about
projects.

On the Adno side, we will improve compliance with standards and tests.
We also hope to develop the following features:
- core upgrade: Annotorious and OpenSeadragon;
- a local executable version;
- multi-image support;
- a public touch-table adaptation;
- print mode;
- accessibility improvements;
- migration to a new editor.

best regards
