_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,
<a href="#multilingual">multilingual</a></b> software, issued under the terms of the GNU General Public
License. Read the <a href="_httppagex_(factsheet)">Greenstone Fact Sheet</a> for more information.
}

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

_t3_ {
UNESCO is running regional training workshops on the use of Greenstone.
}
_t3.save_ {<a href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=12123&release_id=202808">Here</a> is a package of all material that we prepared for the Suva workshop: lectures, labs, documents, test files, etc.  It focuses on building collections with the Librarian Interface.
Please feel free to use it for learning -- or teaching! -- Greenstone.

_remotegreenstone_ {
<i>(Oct 26)</i> Building collections on a remote Greenstone server<br />
This 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://prdownload.berlios.de/gsdl-esdoc/gsdlremoto.pdf">En Español</a>).
}

_support_ {
We have reorganised our <a href="_gwcgi_?a=p&p=support">Support page</a>, and included some new information about donations to the Greenstone project, contract research and commercial support.
}

_gs3proto_ {
Greenstone 3 is a complete redesign of Greenstone, with version 3.01 released on <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/greenstone3">sourceforge</a> in November 2005. 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>.

_survey_ {
<a href="http://www.ils.unc.edu/~sheble/greenstone/survey-report.html">Here</a> are the results of a Greenstone user survey undertaken in 2004-2005. Laura Sheble of the University of North Carolina is planning a new survey.
}


_t4_ {
<a
href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/greenstone/">Download</a> Greenstone v2.50.
The Greenstone Librarian Interface (GLI),
an easy-to-use frontend to Greenstone's collection-building
functionality, has been extensively user tested and debugged. 
If you haven't already tried it, now is a great
time to do so (and if you ran into problems before, please try this new version).
Greenstone 2.50 also includes the new (and already very popular) PagedImgPlug plugin for
processing sequences of page images, a new classifier that displays a
collage of the images in a collection, provision for incremental updates
of Greenstone in the future, and many other bug fixes and improvements.
}

_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,
several fully-documented example collections have been placed at <a
href="http://nzdl.org">nzdl.org</a> which explain, on the collection home page, just how they have been put together.
}

_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="_httpwikiintn_">other languages</a>.  We are looking for <a
href="_httpwikiintnmaintainers_">volunteers</a> to add new language
interfaces and help maintain existing ones.
}

_t7_ {
The aim of the Greenstone 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 group's members.
}

_t8_ {
Also, the collect.cfg files for many of the collections at <a
href="http://www.nzdl.org">nzdl.org</a> have been made available <a
href="_httpwikicolcfg_">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 <a href="_httppagex_(download)">download</a> and install Greenstone v2.70w and the documented example collections, it will look exactly like <a href="http://puka.cs.waikato.ac.nz/cgi-bin/gsdl-2.70w/library">this</a>. If you install Greenstone from the UNESCO CD-ROM, it will look similar, but only a few of the collections will be included, and just the four languages English, French, Spanish and Russian will be enabled. To activate the others, please see the <i>Enabling other languages</i> section of the <a href="_httpwikitutorial_/en/update_greenstone_installation.htm">Updating a Greenstone Installation</a> tutorial.

_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 "Greenstone Librarian
Interface", 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 via <a
href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/">here</a> -- the latest version is currently 1.4.2 (then 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_ {
Greenstone can no longer be installed on 16 bit Windows (that is, Windows 3.1/3.11). However collections that have been exported to CD will still run on these systems.
}

_t25_ {
Using this distribution you may either install the "local
library", the "web library", or install and compile the
source code (click <a href="_httpwikilocallibrary_">here</a> for a
description of the differences between the "local library" and
the "web library"). 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>setupLinux.bin</i> Java-based Installer program. Alternatively, 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 and 10.3.2.  It
includes the pre-built binaries and also includes the demonstration
collection, pre-built. This distribution also includes the Greenstone
Librarian Interface for building collections.
}

_tmacinstall_ {
To install this distribution, extract the gzipped tar archive and run the <i>setupMacOSx.command</i> Java-based Installer program.
}
_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 procedure
(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="_httpwiki_/Greenstone_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.
}

_classicpack_ {Greenstone Classic Interface Pack}
_classicpackdesc_ {Greenstone 2.63 and later: Greenstone now comes with all languages enabled. New HTML and CSS stylesheets have removed the need for images with text on them, reducing the size of each language interface. This "classic interface" pack contains all the old text images (for all languages), and is designed to be used with a backwards compatibility macro file. You will only need to download this pack if you want to use the old-style tables + text images layout, or if you need support for Netscape 4, which doesn't support the new CSS. To use the images, edit greenstone\\etc\\main.cfg, and replace nav_css.dm with nav_ns4.dm in the macrofiles list.}

_langpack_ {Greenstone Language Pack}

_langpackdesc_ {
Greenstone 2.62 and earlier: These versions of Greenstone come with only English, French, Spanish and Russian interfaces. This package contains the interface to Greenstone in various different language versions; see <a href="_httpwikiintn_">here</a> for details.
