47_t2_ {
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.

59The Greenstone project is the seventh recipient of the biennial
60<a href="http://www.info.fundp.ac.be/~jbl/IFIP/award.html">Namur award</a>, which
61recognizes recipients for raising awareness internationally of the social
62implications of information and communication technologies.

97Greenstone 3 is a complete redesign of Greenstone, currently being implemented. Standard Greenstone (Greenstone 2) remains the best choice for almost all users.

111The Greenstone Librarian Interface (GLI),
112an easy-to-use frontend to Greenstone's collection-building
113functionality, has been extensively user tested and debugged.
114If you haven't already tried it, now is a great
115time to do so (and if you ran into problems before, please try this new version).
116Greenstone 2.50 also includes the new (and already very popular) PagedImgPlug plugin for
117processing sequences of page images, a new classifier that displays a
118collage of the images in a collection, provision for incremental updates
119of Greenstone in the future, and many other bug fixes and improvements.
120}
121
122_t5_ {
123One of the trickier parts of using Greenstone is coming up with a
124configuration file for your collection. To help learn how to do it,
125several fully-documented example collections have been placed at <a
126href="http://nzdl.org">nzdl.org</a> which explain, on the collection home page, just how they have been put together.
127}
128
129_t6_ {
130The complete Greenstone interface, and all documentation, is available in
131<b>English</b>, <b>French</b>, <b>Spanish</b>, <b>Russian</b> and
132<b>Kazakh</b>. Greenstone also has interfaces in many <a
133href="_httppagex_(intn)">other languages</a>. We are looking for <a
134href="_httppagex_(intn)#maintainers">volunteers</a> to add new language
135interfaces and help maintain existing ones.

137
138_t7_ {
139The aim of the Greenstone software is to empower users, particularly in universities,
140libraries, and other public service institutions, to build their own
141digital libraries. Digital libraries are radically reforming how
142information is disseminated and acquired in UNESCO's partner communities
143and institutions in the fields of education, science and culture around the
144world, and particularly in developing countries. We hope that this
145software will encourage the effective deployment of digital libraries to
146share information and place it in the public domain. Further information
147can be found in the book <a href="http://www.nzdl.org/howto">How to build a
148digital library</a>, authored by two of the group's project members.

877interfaces become out-dated as new features are added to the software. For

887concerns functionality that is generally only used by the library
888maintainer (e.g. the Administration pages and the Collector). Many language
889interfaces just contain the core part; since the core changes relatively
890slowly these are mostly fairly complete. However, some unmaintained

1027There are two methods for working with Greenstone language interface (apart
1028from editing the macro files directly, which is not recommended).
1029}
1030
1031_t327_ {Spreadsheet}
1032
1033_t328_ {
1034We send you an Excel spreadsheet that contains all the English text
1035strings, with empty cells for the translation. You fill it in and return
1036it, and we install it in Greenstone. This method is probably the best for
1037large-scale translation, but requires Microsoft software.
1038}
1039
1040_t329_ {Greenstone Translator's Interface}
1041
1042_t330_ {
1043The Greenstone translator's interface is a Web tool that presents the
1044English text strings needing translation, and provides boxes for entering
1045the translated text. Once submitted, translations are stored in the
1046appropriate language file. The system automatically determines which text
1047strings need translating or updating, and can easily be used to update a
1048language interface.
1049}
1050
1051_t331_ {
1052Generally it is best to use the spreadsheet to create the basic interface
1053and the translation interface to fine tune or update it in the future. In
1054either case you need a username and password, which we supply to designated
1055Greenstone language maintainers.
1056}
1057
1058_t331extra_ {If you are interested, you can play with
1059an open version of the system by logging into <a
1060href="http://www.nzdl.org/cgi-bin/translate/library">this page</a> with
1061username "guest" and no password, though if you do this you cannot save the
1062results.
1063}
1064
1065_t332_ {
1066To register as a designated Greenstone language maintainer, please send a
1067request to Michael Dewsnip (<a
1068href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a>). As
1069soon as you receive your password please change it by going to <a
1070href="http://www.nzdl.org/cgi-bin/translate/library">this page</a>,
1071choosing the administration option, clicking the "change password" option
1072on the left hand side, and following the instructions.
1073}
1074
1075_t333_ {
1076As soon as you log in, the front page of the translator's interface is
1077presented to you. Read the instructions and start translating! You don't
1078have to translate all the strings in one session -- you can stop and
1079continue work later. There is a link at the bottom of each page under the
1080"submit" button that allows you to view a Greenstone site in the language
1081you have chosen, and see your translations take effect. (However, the
1082images are not yet created as you go.)

1085_t334_ {Language-dependent text in Greenstone}
1086
1087_t335_ {
1088For your information and interest, the language-dependent text in
1089Greenstone comes in these places. We do not attempt to translate the
1090comments that appear in program code, scripts, or configuration files. Our
1091guideline is that non-programming users doing standard things with
1092Greenstone should be able to work entirely in their own language.
