50Greenstone is a suite of software for building and distributing digital
51library collections. It provides a new way of organizing information and
52publishing it on the Internet or on CD-ROM. Greenstone is produced by the
53<b>New Zealand Digital Library Project</b> at the <b>University of
54Waikato</b>, and developed and distributed in cooperation with
55<b>UNESCO</b> and the <b>Human Info NGO</b>. It is <b>open-source,
56multilingual</b> software, issued under the terms of the GNU General Public
57License. Read the <a href="_httppagex_(factsheet)">Greenstone Fact Sheet</a> for more information.

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>).

This is our research version and is still incomplete; the production version (Greenstone 2) is recommended for almost all users (and is still being developed and improved). Greenstone 3 will serve existing collections without any change whatsoever, so there is no danger of becoming out-moded by continuing with Greenstone 2. <a href="http://www.greenstone.org/greenstone3.html">Greenstone 3 home page</a>.

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.

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.
