What is the best photo-archive app for the workplace?
In a small 20-person company all using Macs, we have a good collection of photos that's only going to grow larger. If we're all under the same shared network, what is the best method to archiving all the photos, so that everyone in the workplace can share and use?
We will be working with both RAW and JPEG formats, so preferably a workflow that does not require converting all RAWs to JPEGs.
Should it be iPhoto? Picasa? Other? (Not every computer will have Photoshop, so Adobe Bridge will not be a good choice for us, and we don't want to install Lightroom/Aperture on every computer).

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

I think you should go with Picasa, put all the media on a shared network storage device. Picasa supports RAW files too ;-)
And is avialable for Mac.
