_t1_ {About Greenstone}

_t2_ {
Greenstone is a suite of software for building and distributing digital
library collections. It provides a new way of organizing information and
publishing it on the Internet or on CD-ROM.  Greenstone is produced by the
<b>New Zealand Digital Library Project</b> at the <b>University of
Waikato</b>, and developed and distributed in cooperation with
<b>UNESCO</b> and the <b>Human Info NGO</b>.  It is <b>open-source,
multilingual</b> software, issued under the terms of the GNU General Public
License.
}

_t3_ {
UNESCO is running regional training workshops on the use of Greenstone.<br>
<a href="_httppagex_(report)">Here</a> is a report of one held in
Bangalore, India, in August 2003. Another will be conducted in Dakar,
Senegal in September 2003, and a third in Suva, Fiji, in November 2003.
}

_t4_ {
Greenstone v2.40a has now been released! Download it from <a
href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/greenstone/">here</a>. This release
is the same as Greenstone v2.40, except it features better integration of
the Librarian Interface tool.
}

_t5_ {
One of the trickier parts of using Greenstone is coming up with a
configuration file for your collection. To help learn how to do it, <a
href="http://www.cs.waikato.ac.nz/~ihw/greenstone/inside.htm">here</a> is a
new document that presents, and explains, the configuration files for a few
actual Greenstone collections, and also gives an example of how
Greenstone's appearance can be customized.
}

_t6_ {
The complete Greenstone interface, and all documentation, is available in
<b>English</b>, <b>French</b>, <b>Spanish</b>, <b>Russian</b> and
<b>Kazakh</b>.  Greenstone also has interfaces in many <a
href="_httppagex_(intn)">other languages</a>.  We are looking for <a
href="_httppagex_(intn)#maintainers">volunteers</a> to add new language
interfaces and help maintain existing ones.
}

_t7_ {
The aim of the software is to empower users, particularly in universities,
libraries, and other public service institutions, to build their own
digital libraries.  Digital libraries are radically reforming how
information is disseminated and acquired in UNESCO's partner communities
and institutions in the fields of education, science and culture around the
world, and particularly in developing countries.  We hope that this
software will encourage the effective deployment of digital libraries to
share information and place it in the public domain.  Further information
can be found in the book <a href="http://www.nzdl.org/howto">How to build a
digital library</a>, authored by two of the the group's project members.
}

_t8_ {
The collect.cfg files for many of the collections at <a
href="http://www.nzdl.org">www.nzdl.org</a> have been made available <a
href="_httppagex_(colcfg)">here</a>.
}

_t9_ {
This software is developed and distributed as an international cooperative
effort established in August 2000 among three parties.
}

_t10_ {
New Zealand Digital Library Project at the University of Waikato
}

_t11_ {
Greenstone software grew out of this project, and this initiative has been
endorsed by the Communication Sub-Commission of the New Zealand National
Commission for UNESCO as part of New Zealand's contribution to UNESCO's
programme.
}

_t12_ {
United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization
}

_t13_ {
The dissemination of educational, scientific and cultural information
throughout the world, and particularly its availability in developing
countries, is central to UNESCO's goals as pursued within its
intergovernmental Information for All Programme, and appropriate,
accessible information and communication technology is seen as an important
tool in this context.
}

_t14_ {
The Human Info NGO, based in Antwerp, Belgium
}

_t15_ {
This project works with UN agencies and other NGOs, and has established a
worldwide reputation for digitizing documentation of interest to human
development and making it widely available, free of charge to developing
nations and on a cost-recovery basis to others.
}

_t16_ {
If you download Greenstone and install it with standard demonstration
collections, or if you install it from the Greenstone CD-ROM, it will look
exactly like <a
href="http://www.nzdl.org/cgi-bin/democols/library">this</a>.

package download

_t18_ {Download Greenstone}

_t19_ {
Greenstone is open-source software, distributed under the terms of the <a
href="http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html">GNU General Public
License</a>. It runs on Windows and Unix, and both source code and binaries
are available for download. It is fully documented in English, French,
Spanish and Russian.
}

_t20_ {
Select the Greenstone distribution you require from the list below. Each
distribution provides a complete interface in English, French, Spanish and
Russian.
}

_t21_ {
Each distribution also includes the &quot;Greenstone Librarian
Interface&quot;, a graphical tool for building digital libraries. It gives
you access to Greenstone's functionality from an easy-to-use 'point and
click' interface. To use this tool you will need a suitable Java Run-time
Environment, which you can download from <a
href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/download.html">here</a> (choose the
JRE, not the SDK).
}

_t22_ {Windows distribution}

_t23_ {
This is the distribution you want if you're going to run Greenstone under
any 32 bit Windows environment (that is, Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP etc.).
}

_t24_ {
Note that Greenstone will also run on 16 bit Windows (that is, Windows
3.1/3.11). The installer program used by this distribution will not work on
these versions of Windows however. Please <a
href="_httppagex_(support)">contact us</a> if you need a version of
Greenstone for 16 bit Windows.
}

_t25_ {
Using this distribution you may either install the &quot;local
library&quot;, the &quot;web library&quot;, or install and compile the
source code (click <a href="_httppagex_(faq-installing)#1">here</a> for a
description of the differences between the &quot;local library&quot; and
the &quot;web library&quot;). You will be asked which form of Greenstone
you want during the installation process.
}

_t26_ {
This distribution includes everything you need to run Greenstone (including
a pre-built demonstration collection) and to build new Greenstone
collections. Some functionality is not included however, mostly in an
attempt to keep the distribution as small as possible. See <a
href="#packages">below</a> for details on how to get this missing
functionality.
}

_t27_ {
This distribution uses a standard Windows installer program, simply
download the file and double-click it to install (see the <a
href="_httpguide_(Install,en)">Installer's Guide</a> for more detailed
installation instructions).
}

_t28_ {Unix distribution}

_t29_ {
This is the recommended distribution if you're installing Greenstone on any
form of Unix.
}

_t30_ {
This distribution comes with statically linked linux binaries. However, it
also contains the Greenstone source code for compiling on other forms of
Unix (or on linux if you prefer not to use the provided binaries).
}

_t31_ {
This distribution includes everything you need to run Greenstone (including
a pre-built demonstration collection) and to build new Greenstone
collections. Some functionality is not included however, mostly in an
attempt to keep the distribution as small as possible. See <a
href="#packages">below</a> for details on how to get this missing
functionality.
}

_t32_ {
To install this distribution, extract the gzipped tar archive and run the
<i>Install.sh</i> shell script from within the <i>gsdl-X.XX-unix/Unix</i>
directory (see the <a href="_httpguide_(Install,en)">Installer's Guide</a> for
more detailed installation instructions).
}

_t33_ {Mac OS X distribution}

_t34_ {
This distribution contains dynamically linked binaries for Mac OS X running
on PowerPC platforms.
}

_t35_ {
This distribution has been tested on Mac OS X 10.2.6.  It includes the
pre-built binaries and also includes the demonstration collection,
unbuilt. This is the first distribution for the Mac that includes the
Greenstone Librarian Interface for building collections.
}

_t36_ {Source only distribution}

_t37_ {
This distribution contains the Greenstone source code along with the same
demonstration collection as the distributions above (although the
collection is not pre-built in this distribution).
}

_t38_ {
This distribution does not have an automated installation proceedure
(running <i>Install.sh</i> will not work). Unless you're sure you know what
you're doing you probably want one of the distributions above, both of
which also contain the Greenstone source. Note that you can obtain an
up-to-date version of the Greenstone source code at any time by using <a
href="_httppagex_(cvs)">cvs</a>.
}

_t39_ {
The following extra packages may be downloaded and installed along with an
existing Greenstone installation to add functionality that was left out of
the distributions above.
}

_t40_ {Export to CD-ROM package}

_t41_ {
This package enables the &quot;export to CD-ROM&quot; function from within
Greenstone's Collector.
}

_t42_ {
To install, simply download the file (it will work on both Windows and Unix
and any version of Greenstone above 2.34) and extract the zip archive into
the gsdl\\bin\\windows directory of your existing Greenstone installation.
}

_t43_ {
The following utilities have been developed to be used along with
Greenstone.
}

_t44_ {The Organizer}

_t45_ {
The Organizer is a Windows application useful for automatically generating
many of the configuration files (metadata.xml, sub.txt etc.)  required by
complex Greenstone collections.
}

_t46_ {
To install, simply download and double-click the self-extracting executable
file.
}

_t219_ {Greenstone FAQ - Installing Greenstone}

_t220_ {
See our <a href="_httpdocsdir_/compiling.html">compiling page</a>.
}

_t221_ {
Firstly, the <i>local library</i> is only available if you're running
Greenstone under Windows. It's not yet available on Unix.

<p>The major difference between the two is that the <i>local library</i>
contains it's own built-in webserver. The <i>web library</i> however,
requires an external webserver like Apache or Microsoft IIS. This makes the
<i>local library</i> much easier to install and configure than the web
library.</p>

<p>For this reason, it's recommended that Windows users install the
<i>local library</i> unless they're sure that they need the <i>web
library</i>. Even if you think you might need the <i>web library</i>, try
installing the <i>local library</i> first. You can always uninstall it
later and install the <i>web library</i> if you then decide you need
it.</p>

<p>A situation where the <i>web library</i> may be preferable is if you
plan to serve your Greenstone collections as a full-time service on the
web. In this case you'll probably want the added stability that running the
<i>web library</i> in conjunction with an external webserver can
provide.</p>

<p>Please note that the <i>local library</i> is quite capable of serving
Greenstone collections over a local area network or the web (despite its
rather misleading name).</p>
}

package faqrun

_t222_ {Greenstone FAQ - Running Greenstone}

_t223_ {
If you're using the Windows <i>local library</i> you should be able to
simply select &quot;Greenstone Digital Library&quot; from within the
programs in your <i>start</i> menu.

<p>If you're using the <i>web library</i> things are a little less obvious
however. First make sure your webserver is configured correctly and is
running (see the <a href="_httppagex_(docs)">Greenstone Installer's
Guide</a> and your webserver's documentation for details). You can then
simply open your web browser and point it at the URL of Greenstone's
library executable. This is dependant on the way you configured Greenstone
and your webserver. Typically it might be something like
http://localhost/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.exe.</p>
}

_t224_ {
Greenstone relies on a web browser that supports tables, javascript, and in
some places, frames. Any reasonably modern browser will do. Examples are
Microsoft Internet Explorer 4, Netscape 4, and Mozilla. Newer releases of
all these browsers will also work.

<p>If you find that your favourite web browser does not work with
Greenstone, please <a href="_httppagex_(support)">contact us</a>.</p>

<p>Note that there is an exception to the rule that any modern browser will
do when running Greenstone. That is when you're using the restricted
version of the Windows local library when you must use Netscape. See the
discussion below on the differences between the &quot;Restricted
Version&quot; and the standard &quot;Enter Library&quot; version of the
local library for details.</p>
}

_t225_ {
The webserver built into the local library uses the networking software
built into your Windows operating system in order to function. If your
computer has never been connected to a network this networking software may
not be installed however. For this reason Greenstone comes with some
networking software of it's own that it will use if it can't find any
installed on your computer.

<p>When you click the &quot;Enter Library&quot; button, Greenstone first
checks to see if your computer has it's own networking software. If it
does, it starts up using that, if not it starts up using it's own
networking software.</p>

<p>When you click the &quot;Restricted Version&quot; button, Greenstone
doesn't bother checking your system for networking software, it just goes
ahead and uses it's own.</p>

<p>The catch is that there are several limitations with using the
Greenstone supplied networking software. The most important limitations are
that the local library won't be accessible from the network if run in this
way (that is, it really will be &quot;local&quot; to the machine on which
it's running) and that it must use a Netscape web browser. Using your
computer's built-in networking software is therefore the prefered
option.</p>
}

_t226_ {
Since Greenstone will automatically use it's own networking software if it
can't find any installed on your computer it should not normally be
necessary to run the &quot;Restricted Version&quot; explicitly.

<p>Times when it may be necessary are.</p>
<ul>
<li>If your computer's networking software has been installed incorrectly.</li>
<li>If Windows keeps attempting to dial up your internet service provider
when you click the &quot;Enter Library&quot; button.</li>
</ul>
}

_t227_ {
No you don't need to be online. This is caused by the webserver built into
Greenstone's local library sending a message to your computer's networking
software to make sure it's functioning correctly. On many Windows systems
this causes the familiar dial up dialog box to appear. In most situations
you can simply cancel the dialog box and (if required) press your browser's
<i>reload</i> button to continue.

<p>If this does not solve the problem, try starting the local library by
clicking the &quot;Restricted Version&quot; button rather than the
&quot;Enter Library&quot; button. See the discussion above on the
differences between the standard and restricted versions of the local
library for further details.</p>
}

_t228_ {
Check your web browser's internet proxy settings and turn proxies off (use
<i>Edit preferences</i> on Netscape or <i>Internet options</i> on
Explorer).
}

_t229_ {
Collections like those at <a href="http://www.nzdl.org">www.nzdl.org</a>
will soon be made available for download.
}

_t230_ {
The initial username required here is <i>admin</i>.

<p>If you installed Greenstone using the InstallShield installer on Windows
or the Install.sh script on Unix you should have been asked to set a
password during the installation procedure.</p>

<p>If you didn't, don't worry, the password defaults to being
<i>admin</i>.</p>

<p>So if you don't know what to enter you should try username =
<i>admin</i>, password = <i>admin</i>.<p>
}

_t231_ {
This may be caused by the URL becoming too long for your web
browser. Because Greenstone currently stores all state information in the
URL, if you do a search for a long phrase the URL can become very
long. Different browser's on different platforms have different maximum URL
lengths but in general it seems that Netscape can handle longer URLs than
can Microsoft Internet Explorer.

<p>There is very little you can do to avoid this problem with the way
Greenstone is currently implemented (aside from not searching for long
phrases). Future versions of Greenstone may store some state information on
the server rather than in the URL but this has yet to be implemented.</p>

package faqbuild

_t232_ {Greenstone FAQ - Building Greenstone Collections}

_t233_ {
The Collector is a web interface for building new collections, altering or
deleting existing collections, and exporting existing collections to
stand-alone CD-ROMs. The Collector is a standard part of a Greenstone
installation. To begin using the Collector, click the &quot;The
Collector&quot; button on your Greenstone home page. For further details on
using the Collector see the <a href="_httppagex_(docs)">Greenstone User's
Guide</a>.
}

_t234_ {
It's occasionally preferable to build your Greenstone collections from the
command line rather than from the Collector. This allows you greater
control over how your new collection turns out. See the <a
href="_httppagex_(docs)">Greenstone Developer's Guide</a> for detailed step
by step instructions on building collections from the command line.
}

_t235_ {
Are you running Norton Anti-Virus? There are some incompatibilities between
Norton and the Greenstone collection building process that cause
unpredictable things to happen if you build your collection while Norton is
running. Try disabling Norton and rebuilding the collection.

<p>If you do not have Norton or disabling Norton does not solve the problem
please <a href="_httppagex_(support)">contact us</a> for further help.</p>
}

_t236_ {
If you downloaded Greenstone from the web you will not have all the
components required to make the &quot;export to CD-ROM&quot; function
work. These extra components have been made available in a separate
download which you can get from the <a
href="_httppagex_(download)#packages">download</a> page.
}

_t237_ {
Are you using a Netscape web browser with the local library? If so, try
using Internet Explorer instead. There are some socket connection problems
that show up on Windows 2000 when using Netscape.
}

_t238_ {
The Organizer (also called the &quot;Collection Organizer&quot;) is a
Windows utility used for automatically generating some of the configuration
files (metadata.xml, sub.txt etc.) used by complex Greenstone collections. 
}

_t239_ {
From the <a href="_httppagex_(download)#utilities">download</a> page.
}

_t240_ {
There are several reasons that the collector might fail to build a
collection and the error messages it produces are not always very helpful.

<p>If you changed the default configuration during the <i>configure
collection</i> stage you'll need to make sure the changes were valid. For
example, if you added a new <i>classify</i> or <i>plugin</i> line you'll
need to make sure that the classifier and/or plugin names and arguments are
all correct. If they're not the collector will fail. A good test is to
build your collection without changing the configuration. If it builds ok
with the default configuration but fails after you change the configuration
you'll need to look closely at the changes you're making.</p>

<p>Another good thing to do if having problems with the collector is to
build your collection from the command line instead. You'll get much more
feedback to help debug problems when building in this way. For details on
how to build a collection from the command line see the <a
href="_httppagex_(docs)">Greenstone developer's guide</a>.</p>
}

_t241_ {
The collect.cfg files for many of the collections at <a
href="http://www.nzdl.org">www.nzdl.org</a> have been made available <a
href="_httppagex_(colcfg)">here</a>.
}

_t242_ {
The <a href="_httpdocsdir_/mgpp_user.pdf">MGPP user manual</a> gives some
instructions.
}

_tfaqbuild11body_ {
To create and add the new buttons for a new classifier, there are several macro files that need to be edited. This is an example for the Countries metadata. <i>Countries</i> is the metadata name (or buttonname), <i>count</i> is the short form used in image names, <i>countries</i> is the text that appears on the nav bar buttons and the green title.
<p>
These lines should all be put next to the other ones ones of the same type. Use Title as an example to search for the approriate place to insert.
<p>

<br>## "countries" ## nav\_bar\_button ## tcount ##
<br>\_httpicontcountgr\_ \{\_httpimg\_/tcountgr.gif\}
<br>\_httpicontcountof\_ \{\_httpimg\_/tcountof.gif\}

<br>\_widthtcountx\_ \{87\}

<br>## "countries" ## green_title ## h_count ##
<br>\_httpiconhcount\_ \{\_httpimg\_/h\_count.gif\}
<br>\_widthhcount\_ \{200\}
<br>\_heighthcount\_ \{57\}


<p>
The images that are needed are the nav bar images, and the title image with the green bar in the background. There are 3 nav bar images: <i>tcountgr.gif</i> is the green one and <i>tcounton.gif</i> and  <i>tcountof.gif</i> are the two yellow ones for the rollover effect.
<i>h_count.gif</i> is the title image.

<p>These images can be generated by copying the two ## blocks from above into a temp file and running translate.pl on it eg.

<br>translate.pl -language_symbol en temp.dm

<p>To add the images in other languages, you need to edit the appropriate language macro file, and add the same items as for english.dm. And run the translate script to generate the images.
<p>English versions of the images should be placed in the $GSDLHOME/images directory, while other language versions should be placed in the appropriate subdirectory of $GSDLHOME/images, for example $GSDLHOME/images/fr for french images.

_t278_ {Internationalizing Greenstone}

_t279_ {There are several different levels of Greenstone language support.}

_t280_ {Core languages}

_t281_ {
English, French, Spanish, and Russian are Greenstone core languages.  For
these there is a full translation, including interface, documentation,
sample collections, installation instructions. They have been produced in
conjunction with UNESCO and are distributed with all versions of
Greenstone, including the CD-ROM version. They are updated whenever the
CD-ROM is re-issued (so far, approximately once a year).
}

_t282_ {Full translation}

_t283_ {
Full translations of Greenstone include the interface and all the
documentation. Translating the documentation is a big job, and so far,
apart from the UNESCO-supported CD-ROM project, there is only one example
-- Kazakh. We would like to encourage more people to do full translations.
}

_t284_ {Maintained interface-only translation}

_t285_ {
&quot;Maintained&quot; translations include the language interface and a
designated person who updates it. The Greenstone interface has been
translated into many languages. However, the system is growing and language
interfaces become out-dated as new features are added to the software. For
each language, we are hoping to find a volunteer who undertakes to
periodically maintain the interface for that language.
}

_t286_ {Unmaintained interface-only translation}

_t287_ {
The interface comes in two parts: a &quot;core&quot; part that contains the
basic digital library interface, and an &quot;auxiliary&quot; part that
that concerns functionality that is generally only used by the library
maintainer (e.g. the Administration pages and the Collector). Many language
interfaces just contain the core part; since the core changes relatively
slowly these are mostly fairly complete. However, some unmaintained
translations are rather out of date.
}

_t288_ {In progress}

_t289_ {For some languages, the translation process is still in progress.}

_t290_ {
When you download Greenstone, the core language interfaces (English,
French, Spanish and Russian) come automatically. The other languages are
provided in a separate package which can be <a
href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=12123&release_id=173035">downloaded</a>
and installed as required. This makes the downloads smaller, and for those
who do not need all the languages Greenstone is slightly smaller and
faster.

_t325_ {Information for language maintainers}

_t326_ {
There are two methods for working with Greenstone language interface (apart
from editing the macro files directly, which is not recommended).
}

_t327_ {Spreadsheet}

_t328_ {
We send you an Excel spreadsheet that contains all the English text
strings, with empty cells for the translation. You fill it in and return
it, and we install it in Greenstone. This method is probably the best for
large-scale translation, but requires Microsoft software.
}

_t329_ {Greenstone Translator's Interface}

_t330_ {
The Greenstone translator's interface is a Web tool that presents the
English text strings needing translation, and provides boxes for entering
the translated text. Once submitted, translations are stored in the
appropriate language file. The system automatically determines which text
strings need translating or updating, and can easily be used to update a
language interface.
}

_t331_ {
Generally it is best to use the spreadsheet to create the basic interface
and the translation interface to fine tune or update it in the future. In
either case you need a username and password, which we supply to designated
Greenstone language maintainers. If you are interested, you can play with
an open version of the system by logging into <a
href="http://www.nzdl.org/cgi-bin/translate/library">this page</a> with
username "guest" and no password, though if you do this you cannot save the
results.
}

_t332_ {
To register as a designated Greenstone language maintainer, please send a
request to Michael Dewsnip (<a
href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a>). As
soon as you receive your password please change it by going to <a
href="http://www.nzdl.org/cgi-bin/translate/library">this page</a>,
choosing the administration option, clicking the "change password" option
on the left hand side, and following the instructions.
}

_t333_ {
As soon as you log in, the front page of the translator's interface is
presented to you. Read the instructions and start translating! You don't
have to translate all the strings in one session -- you can stop and
continue work later.  There is a link at the bottom of each page under the
"submit" button that allows you to view a Greenstone site in the language
you have chosen, and see your translations take effect. (However, the
images are not yet created as you go.)
}

_t334_ {Language-dependent text in Greenstone}

_t335_ {
For your information and interest, the language-dependent text in
Greenstone comes in these places. We do not attempt to translate the
comments that appear in program code, scripts, or configuration files. Our
guideline is that non-programming users doing standard things with
Greenstone should be able to work entirely in their own language.
