As before, my home box has a demo.

The WorldForge team is proud to present the first release of WOMBAT, the WorldForge Open Media Browser/Archive Tool.
WOMBAT aims to improve the user experience browsing our media repository by providing a nice web front-end and, in later versions, search (and maybe even upload) features.
