-The Greenstone Digital Library software provides a new way of
-organizing information and making it available over the Internet or on
-CD-ROM. It is open-source software, available under the terms of the
-GNU General Public License. 
-<p>
-A digital library is made up of a set of collections. Each collection of
-information comprises several (typically several thousand, or even
-several million) documents, which share a uniform searching and
-browsing interface. Collections can be organized in many different
-ways while retaining a strong family resemblance. 
-<p>
-The 
-<a href="http://www.nzdl.org">New Zealand Digital Library Project</a>
-is a research programme at The University of Waikato whose aim is to 
-develop the underlying technology for digital libraries and make it 
-available publicly so that others can use it to create their own 
-collections.
-Greenstone was created to further this objective.

-<p>Greenstone is a semi-precious stone that (like this software) is sourced in New Zealand.  In traditional Maori society it was the most highly prized and sought after of all substances.  It can absorb and hold <i>wairua</i>, which is a spirit or life force, and is endowed with traditional virtues that make it an appropriate emblem for a
-public-domain digital library project.  Its lustre shows charity; its
-translucence, honesty; its toughness, courage; and the sharp edge it can
-take, justice.  The carved piece used in the Greenstone Digital Library
-Software logo is a <i>patu</i> or fighting club, and is a family heirloom
-of one of our project members.  In hand-to-hand combat its delivery is very
-quick, very accurate, and very complete.  We like to think these qualities
-also apply to our software, the razor sharp edge of the <i>patu</i>
-symbolizing the leading edge of technology.
