54Waikato</b>, and developed and distributed in cooperation with

94This 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>).

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>.

114The Greenstone Librarian Interface (GLI),
115an easy-to-use frontend to Greenstone's collection-building
116functionality, has been extensively user tested and debugged.
117If you haven't already tried it, now is a great
118time to do so (and if you ran into problems before, please try this new version).
119Greenstone 2.50 also includes the new (and already very popular) PagedImgPlug plugin for
120processing sequences of page images, a new classifier that displays a
121collage of the images in a collection, provision for incremental updates
122of Greenstone in the future, and many other bug fixes and improvements.

142The aim of the Greenstone software is to empower users, particularly in universities,
143libraries, and other public service institutions, to build their own
144digital libraries. Digital libraries are radically reforming how
145information is disseminated and acquired in UNESCO's partner communities
146and institutions in the fields of education, science and culture around the
147world, and particularly in developing countries. We hope that this
148software will encourage the effective deployment of digital libraries to
149share information and place it in the public domain. Further information
150can be found in the book <a href="http://www.nzdl.org/howto">How to build a
