47_t2_ {
48Greenstone is a suite of software for building and distributing digital
49library collections. It provides a new way of organizing information and
50publishing it on the Internet or on CD-ROM. Greenstone is produced by the
51<b>New Zealand Digital Library Project</b> at the <b>University of
52Waikato</b>, and developed and distributed in cooperation with
53<b>UNESCO</b> and the <b>Human Info NGO</b>. It is <b>open-source,
54multilingual</b> software, issued under the terms of the GNU General Public
55License. Read the <a href="_httppagex_(factsheet)">Greenstone Fact Sheet</a> for more information.

59The Greenstone project is the seventh recipient of the biennial
60<a href="http://www.info.fundp.ac.be/~jbl/IFIP/award.html">Namur award</a>, which
61recognizes recipients for raising awareness internationally of the social
62implications of information and communication technologies.

Please note that this is our research version and is still incomplete; the production version (Greenstone 2) is recommended for most users (and is still being developed and improved). Rest assured that collections built with Greenstone 2 are fully compatible with the new software. }

96<i>(Oct 26)</i> Building collections on a remote Greenstone server<br />
97This scheme allows users to augment and edit collections that are held on a remote Greenstone server. Users work with a modified version of the Greenstone Librarian Interface but do not need to have Greenstone running locally. Multiple users can collaborate on the same collection (though not at the same time). <a href="http://www.cs.waikato.ac.nz/~mdewsnip/greenstone/west-yorkshire/remote-greenstone.html">Here</a> are details of an experimental version that you can download (<a href="http://tramullas.com/greenstone/gsdlremoto.pdf">En Español</a>).

105Greenstone 3 is a complete redesign of Greenstone, currently being implemented. Standard Greenstone (Greenstone 2) remains the best choice for almost all users.

119The Greenstone Librarian Interface (GLI),
120an easy-to-use frontend to Greenstone's collection-building
121functionality, has been extensively user tested and debugged.
122If you haven't already tried it, now is a great
123time to do so (and if you ran into problems before, please try this new version).
124Greenstone 2.50 also includes the new (and already very popular) PagedImgPlug plugin for
125processing sequences of page images, a new classifier that displays a
126collage of the images in a collection, provision for incremental updates
127of Greenstone in the future, and many other bug fixes and improvements.

130_t5_ {
131One of the trickier parts of using Greenstone is coming up with a
132configuration file for your collection. To help learn how to do it,
133several fully-documented example collections have been placed at <a

146_t7_ {
147The aim of the Greenstone software is to empower users, particularly in universities,
148libraries, and other public service institutions, to build their own
149digital libraries. Digital libraries are radically reforming how
150information is disseminated and acquired in UNESCO's partner communities
151and institutions in the fields of education, science and culture around the
152world, and particularly in developing countries. We hope that this
153software will encourage the effective deployment of digital libraries to
154share information and place it in the public domain. Further information
155can be found in the book <a href="http://www.nzdl.org/howto">How to build a
156digital library</a>, authored by two of the group's project members.

975_t281_ {
976English, French, Spanish, and Russian are Greenstone core languages. For
977these there is a full translation, including interface, documentation,
978sample collections, installation instructions. They have been produced in
979conjunction with UNESCO and are distributed with all versions of
980Greenstone, including the CD-ROM version. They are updated whenever the
981CD-ROM is re-issued (so far, approximately once a year).
982}
983
984_t282_ {Full translation}
985
986_t283_ {
987Full translations of Greenstone include the interface and all the
988documentation. Translating the documentation is a big job, and so far,
989apart from the UNESCO-supported CD-ROM project, there is only one example
990-- Kazakh. We would like to encourage more people to do full translations.
991}
992
993_t284_ {Maintained interface-only translation}
994
995_t285_ {
996"Maintained" translations include the language interface and a
997designated person who updates it. The Greenstone interface has been
998translated into many languages. However, the system is growing and language
999interfaces become out-dated as new features are added to the software. For
1000each language, we are hoping to find a volunteer who undertakes to
1001periodically maintain the interface for that language.
1002}
1003
1004_t286_ {Unmaintained interface-only translation}
1005
1006_t287_ {
1007The interface comes in two parts: a "core" part that contains the
1008basic digital library interface, and an "auxiliary" part that
1009concerns functionality that is generally only used by the library
1010maintainer (e.g. the Administration pages and the Collector). Many language
1011interfaces just contain the core part; since the core changes relatively
1012slowly these are mostly fairly complete. However, some unmaintained
1013translations are rather out of date.

1018_t289_ {For some languages, the translation process is still in progress.}

1020_t290_ {
1021When you download Greenstone, the core language interfaces (English,
1022French, Spanish and Russian) come automatically. The other languages are
1023provided in a separate package which can be <a
1024href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=12123&release_id=173035">downloaded</a>
1025and installed as required. This makes the downloads smaller, and for those
1026who do not need all the languages Greenstone is slightly smaller and
1027faster.

1161There are two methods for working with Greenstone language interface (apart

1163}
1164
1165_t327_ {Spreadsheet}
1166
1167_t328_ {
1168We send you an Excel spreadsheet that contains all the English text
1169strings, with empty cells for the translation. You fill it in and return
1170it, and we install it in Greenstone. This method is probably the best for
1171large-scale translation, but requires Microsoft software.

1173
1174_t329_ {Greenstone Translator's Interface}
1175
1176_t330_ {
1177The Greenstone translator's interface is a Web tool that presents the
1178English text strings needing translation, and provides boxes for entering
1179the translated text. Once submitted, translations are stored in the
1180appropriate language file. The system automatically determines which text
1181strings need translating or updating, and can easily be used to update a
1182language interface.
1183}
1184
1185_t331_ {
1186Generally it is best to use the spreadsheet to create the basic interface
1187and the translation interface to fine tune or update it in the future. In
1188either case you need a username and password, which we supply to designated
1189Greenstone language maintainers.

1210As soon as you log in, the front page of the translator's interface is
1211presented to you. Read the instructions and start translating! You don't
1212have to translate all the strings in one session -- you can stop and
1213continue work later. There is a link at the bottom of each page under the
1214"submit" button that allows you to view a Greenstone site in the language
1215you have chosen, and see your translations take effect. (However, the
1216images are not yet created as you go.)

1222For your information and interest, the language-dependent text in
1223Greenstone comes in these places. We do not attempt to translate the
1224comments that appear in program code, scripts, or configuration files. Our
1225guideline is that non-programming users doing standard things with
1226Greenstone should be able to work entirely in their own language.
