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.

109The Greenstone Librarian Interface (GLI),
110an easy-to-use frontend to Greenstone's collection-building
111functionality, has been extensively user tested and debugged.
112If you haven't already tried it, now is a great
113time to do so (and if you ran into problems before, please try this new version).
114Greenstone 2.50 also includes the new (and already very popular) PagedImgPlug plugin for
115processing sequences of page images, a new classifier that displays a
116collage of the images in a collection, provision for incremental updates
117of Greenstone in the future, and many other bug fixes and improvements.
118}
119
120_t5_ {
121One of the trickier parts of using Greenstone is coming up with a
122configuration file for your collection. To help learn how to do it,
123several fully-documented example collections have been placed at <a
124href="http://nzdl.org">nzdl.org</a> which explain, on the collection home page, just how they have been put together.
125}
126
127_t6_ {
128The complete Greenstone interface, and all documentation, is available in
129<b>English</b>, <b>French</b>, <b>Spanish</b>, <b>Russian</b> and
130<b>Kazakh</b>. Greenstone also has interfaces in many <a
131href="_httppagex_(intn)">other languages</a>. We are looking for <a
132href="_httppagex_(intn)#maintainers">volunteers</a> to add new language
133interfaces and help maintain existing ones.

135
136_t7_ {
137The aim of the Greenstone software is to empower users, particularly in universities,
138libraries, and other public service institutions, to build their own
139digital libraries. Digital libraries are radically reforming how
140information is disseminated and acquired in UNESCO's partner communities
141and institutions in the fields of education, science and culture around the
142world, and particularly in developing countries. We hope that this
143software will encourage the effective deployment of digital libraries to
144share information and place it in the public domain. Further information
145can be found in the book <a href="http://www.nzdl.org/howto">How to build a
146digital library</a>, authored by two of the group's project members.

1031_t330_ {
1032The Greenstone translator's interface is a Web tool that presents the
1033English text strings needing translation, and provides boxes for entering
1034the translated text. Once submitted, translations are stored in the
1035appropriate language file. The system automatically determines which text
1036strings need translating or updating, and can easily be used to update a
1037language interface.
1038}
1039
1040_t331_ {
1041Generally it is best to use the spreadsheet to create the basic interface
1042and the translation interface to fine tune or update it in the future. In
1043either case you need a username and password, which we supply to designated
1044Greenstone language maintainers.

1056request to Michael Dewsnip (<a
1057href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a>). As
1058soon as you receive your password please change it by going to <a
1059href="http://www.nzdl.org/cgi-bin/translate/library">this page</a>,
1060choosing the administration option, clicking the "change password" option
1061on the left hand side, and following the instructions.

1065As soon as you log in, the front page of the translator's interface is
1066presented to you. Read the instructions and start translating! You don't
1067have to translate all the strings in one session -- you can stop and
1068continue work later. There is a link at the bottom of each page under the
1069"submit" button that allows you to view a Greenstone site in the language
1070you have chosen, and see your translations take effect. (However, the
1071images are not yet created as you go.)

1076_t335_ {
1077For your information and interest, the language-dependent text in
1078Greenstone comes in these places. We do not attempt to translate the
1079comments that appear in program code, scripts, or configuration files. Our
1080guideline is that non-programming users doing standard things with
1081Greenstone should be able to work entirely in their own language.
