14
15_t2_ {
16Greenstone is a suite of software for building and distributing digital
17library collections. It provides a new way of organizing information and
18publishing it on the Internet or on CD-ROM. Greenstone is produced by the
19<b>New Zealand Digital Library Project</b> at the <b>University of
20Waikato</b>, and developed and distributed in cooperation with
21<b>UNESCO</b> and the <b>Human Info NGO</b>. It is <b>open-source,
22multilingual</b> software, issued under the terms of the GNU General Public
23License.

27UNESCO is running regional training workshops on the use of Greenstone.<br>
28<a href="_httppagex_(report)">Here</a> is a report of one held in
29Bangalore, India, in August 2003. Another will be conducted in Dakar,
30Senegal in September 2003, and a third in Suva, Fiji, in November 2003.

34Greenstone v2.40a has now been released! Download it from <a
35href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/greenstone/">here</a>. This release
36is the same as Greenstone v2.40, except it features better integration of
37the Librarian Interface tool.

41One of the trickier parts of using Greenstone is coming up with a
42configuration file for your collection. To help learn how to do it, <a
43href="http://www.cs.waikato.ac.nz/~ihw/greenstone/inside.htm">here</a> is a
44new document that presents, and explains, the configuration files for a few
45actual Greenstone collections, and also gives an example of how
46Greenstone's appearance can be customized.
47}
48
49_t6_ {
50The complete Greenstone interface, and all documentation, is available in
51<b>English</b>, <b>French</b>, <b>Spanish</b>, <b>Russian</b> and
52<b>Kazakh</b>. Greenstone also has interfaces in many <a
53href="_httppagex_(intn)">other languages</a>. We are looking for <a
54href="_httppagex_(intn)#maintainers">volunteers</a> to add new language
55interfaces and help maintain existing ones.
56}
57
58_t7_ {
59The aim of the software is to empower users, particularly in universities,
60libraries, and other public service institutions, to build their own
61digital libraries. Digital libraries are radically reforming how
62information is disseminated and acquired in UNESCO's partner communities
63and institutions in the fields of education, science and culture around the
64world, and particularly in developing countries. We hope that this
65software will encourage the effective deployment of digital libraries to
66share information and place it in the public domain. Further information
67can be found in the book <a href="http://www.nzdl.org/howto">How to build a
68digital library</a>, authored by two of the the group's project members.

920Firstly, the <i>local library</i> is only available if you're running
921Greenstone under Windows. It's not yet available on Unix.
922
923<p>The major difference between the two is that the <i>local library</i>
924contains it's own built-in webserver. The <i>web library</i> however,
925requires an external webserver like Apache or Microsoft IIS. This makes the
926<i>local library</i> much easier to install and configure than the web
927library.</p>
928
929<p>For this reason, it's recommended that Windows users install the
930<i>local library</i> unless they're sure that they need the <i>web
931library</i>. Even if you think you might need the <i>web library</i>, try
932installing the <i>local library</i> first. You can always uninstall it
933later and install the <i>web library</i> if you then decide you need
934it.</p>
935
936<p>A situation where the <i>web library</i> may be preferable is if you
937plan to serve your Greenstone collections as a full-time service on the
938web. In this case you'll probably want the added stability that running the
939<i>web library</i> in conjunction with an external webserver can
940provide.</p>
941
942<p>Please note that the <i>local library</i> is quite capable of serving
943Greenstone collections over a local area network or the web (despite its
944rather misleading name).</p>

955If you're using the Windows <i>local library</i> you should be able to
956simply select &quot;Greenstone Digital Library&quot; from within the
957programs in your <i>start</i> menu.
958
959<p>If you're using the <i>web library</i> things are a little less obvious
960however. First make sure your webserver is configured correctly and is
961running (see the <a href="_httppagex_(docs)">Greenstone Installer's
962Guide</a> and your webserver's documentation for details). You can then
963simply open your web browser and point it at the URL of Greenstone's
964library executable. This is dependant on the way you configured Greenstone
965and your webserver. Typically it might be something like
966http://localhost/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.exe.</p>
967}
968
969_t224_ {
970Greenstone relies on a web browser that supports tables, javascript, and in
971some places, frames. Any reasonably modern browser will do. Examples are
972Microsoft Internet Explorer 4, Netscape 4, and Mozilla. Newer releases of
973all these browsers will also work.
974
975<p>If you find that your favourite web browser does not work with
976Greenstone, please <a href="_httppagex_(support)">contact us</a>.</p>
977
978<p>Note that there is an exception to the rule that any modern browser will
979do when running Greenstone. That is when you're using the restricted
980version of the Windows local library when you must use Netscape. See the
981discussion below on the differences between the &quot;Restricted
982Version&quot; and the standard &quot;Enter Library&quot; version of the
983local library for details.</p>
984}
985
986_t225_ {
987The webserver built into the local library uses the networking software
988built into your Windows operating system in order to function. If your
989computer has never been connected to a network this networking software may
990not be installed however. For this reason Greenstone comes with some
991networking software of it's own that it will use if it can't find any
992installed on your computer.
993
994<p>When you click the &quot;Enter Library&quot; button, Greenstone first
995checks to see if your computer has it's own networking software. If it
996does, it starts up using that, if not it starts up using it's own
997networking software.</p>
998
999<p>When you click the &quot;Restricted Version&quot; button, Greenstone
1000doesn't bother checking your system for networking software, it just goes
1001ahead and uses it's own.</p>
1002
1003<p>The catch is that there are several limitations with using the
1004Greenstone supplied networking software. The most important limitations are
1005that the local library won't be accessible from the network if run in this
1006way (that is, it really will be &quot;local&quot; to the machine on which
1007it's running) and that it must use a Netscape web browser. Using your
1008computer's built-in networking software is therefore the prefered
1009option.</p>
1010}
1011
1012_t226_ {
1013Since Greenstone will automatically use it's own networking software if it
1014can't find any installed on your computer it should not normally be
1015necessary to run the &quot;Restricted Version&quot; explicitly.
1016
1017<p>Times when it may be necessary are.</p>
1018<ul>
1019<li>If your computer's networking software has been installed incorrectly.</li>
1020<li>If Windows keeps attempting to dial up your internet service provider
1021when you click the &quot;Enter Library&quot; button.</li>
1022</ul>
1023}
1024
1025_t227_ {
1026No you don't need to be online. This is caused by the webserver built into
1027Greenstone's local library sending a message to your computer's networking
1028software to make sure it's functioning correctly. On many Windows systems
1029this causes the familiar dial up dialog box to appear. In most situations
1030you can simply cancel the dialog box and (if required) press your browser's
1031<i>reload</i> button to continue.
1032
1033<p>If this does not solve the problem, try starting the local library by
1034clicking the &quot;Restricted Version&quot; button rather than the
1035&quot;Enter Library&quot; button. See the discussion above on the
1036differences between the standard and restricted versions of the local
1037library for further details.</p>

1041Check your web browser's internet proxy settings and turn proxies off (use

1052The initial username required here is <i>admin</i>.
1053
1054<p>If you installed Greenstone using the InstallShield installer on Windows
1055or the Install.sh script on Unix you should have been asked to set a
1056password during the installation procedure.</p>
1057
1058<p>If you didn't, don't worry, the password defaults to being
1059<i>admin</i>.</p>
1060
1061<p>So if you don't know what to enter you should try username =
1062<i>admin</i>, password = <i>admin</i>.<p>
1063}
1064
1065_t231_ {
1066This may be caused by the URL becoming too long for your web
1067browser. Because Greenstone currently stores all state information in the
1068URL, if you do a search for a long phrase the URL can become very
1069long. Different browser's on different platforms have different maximum URL
1070lengths but in general it seems that Netscape can handle longer URLs than
1071can Microsoft Internet Explorer.
1072
1073<p>There is very little you can do to avoid this problem with the way
1074Greenstone is currently implemented (aside from not searching for long
1075phrases). Future versions of Greenstone may store some state information on
1076the server rather than in the URL but this has yet to be implemented.</p>

1143collection</i> stage you'll need to make sure the changes were valid. For
1144example, if you added a new <i>classify</i> or <i>plugin</i> line you'll
1145need to make sure that the classifier and/or plugin names and arguments are
1146all correct. If they're not the collector will fail. A good test is to
1147build your collection without changing the configuration. If it builds ok
1148with the default configuration but fails after you change the configuration
1149you'll need to look closely at the changes you're making.</p>
1150
1151<p>Another good thing to do if having problems with the collector is to
1152build your collection from the command line instead. You'll get much more
1153feedback to help debug problems when building in this way. For details on
1154how to build a collection from the command line see the <a

1170To create and add the new buttons for a new classifier, there are several macro files that need to be edited. This is an example for the Countries metadata. <i>Countries</i> is the metadata name (or buttonname), <i>count</i> is the short form used in image names, <i>countries</i> is the text that appears on the nav bar buttons and the green title.
1171<p>
1172These lines should all be put next to the other ones ones of the same type. Use Title as an example to search for the approriate place to insert.

1211
1212
1213<p>
1214The images that are needed are the nav bar images, and the title image with the green bar in the background. There are 3 nav bar images: <i>tcountgr.gif</i> is the green one and <i>tcounton.gif</i> and <i>tcountof.gif</i> are the two yellow ones for the rollover effect.
1215<i>h_count.gif</i> is the title image.
1216
1217<p>These images can be generated by copying the two ## blocks from above into a temp file and running translate.pl on it eg.
1218
1219<br>translate.pl -language_symbol en temp.dm
1220
1221<p>To add the images in other languages, you need to edit the appropriate language macro file, and add the same items as for english.dm. And run the translate script to generate the images.
1222<p>English versions of the images should be placed in the $GSDLHOME/images directory, while other language versions should be placed in the appropriate subdirectory of $GSDLHOME/images, for example $GSDLHOME/images/fr for french images.

1336-- Kazakh. We would like to encourage more people to do full translations.

1342&quot;Maintained&quot; translations include the language interface and a

1344translated into many languages. However, the system is growing and language
1345interfaces become out-dated as new features are added to the software. For
1346each language, we are hoping to find a volunteer who undertakes to
1347periodically maintain the interface for that language.

1355that concerns functionality that is generally only used by the library
1356maintainer (e.g. the Administration pages and the Collector). Many language
1357interfaces just contain the core part; since the core changes relatively
1358slowly these are mostly fairly complete. However, some unmaintained

1464We send you an Excel spreadsheet that contains all the English text
1465strings, with empty cells for the translation. You fill it in and return
1466it, and we install it in Greenstone. This method is probably the best for
1467large-scale translation, but requires Microsoft software.

1469
1470_t329_ {Greenstone Translator's Interface}
1471
1472_t330_ {
1473The Greenstone translator's interface is a Web tool that presents the
1474English text strings needing translation, and provides boxes for entering
1475the translated text. Once submitted, translations are stored in the
1476appropriate language file. The system automatically determines which text
1477strings need translating or updating, and can easily be used to update a
1478language interface.
1479}
1480
1481_t331_ {
1482Generally it is best to use the spreadsheet to create the basic interface
1483and the translation interface to fine tune or update it in the future. In
1484either case you need a username and password, which we supply to designated
1485Greenstone language maintainers. If you are interested, you can play with
1486an open version of the system by logging into <a
1487href="http://www.nzdl.org/cgi-bin/translate/library">this page</a> with
1488username "guest" and no password, though if you do this you cannot save the
1489results.

1492_t332_ {
1493To register as a designated Greenstone language maintainer, please send a
1494request to Michael Dewsnip (<a

1496soon as you receive your password please change it by going to <a

1502_t333_ {
1503As soon as you log in, the front page of the translator's interface is
1504presented to you. Read the instructions and start translating! You don't
1505have to translate all the strings in one session -- you can stop and
1506continue work later. There is a link at the bottom of each page under the
1507"submit" button that allows you to view a Greenstone site in the language
1508you have chosen, and see your translations take effect. (However, the
