The ViewMate team continues to improve the look and usability of
ViewMate. On 1 May 2010, ViewMate added these new enhancements:

* Change to incorporate the new JewishGen colors and page layout
* New, easier to understand navigation menu
* Support for new image file types TIFF, PNG and GIF, in addition to JPEG
* Bookmark and share images and pages using more than 200 Web 2.0
tools -- Twitter, Facebook, Delicious, Digg, Email and more
* Filter and sort images on the Gallery page -- new ways to organize
and view the posted images
* Rotate a full-sized image while translating -- easier to read words
in the margins
* Display of time remaining for each image on the Gallery page
* Updated FAQs for managing and editing your submissions

ViewMate (http://www.jewishgen.org/ViewMate) is the JewishGen service
where participants submit letters, documents and photos for
translation and to identify people, clothing, artifacts, etc.
