_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,
multilingual</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.
In 2003 they were in
<a href="_httppagex_(report)">Bangalore, India</a> in August; Dakar,
Senegal in September, and <a href="_httppagex_(reportSuva)">Suva, Fiji</a> in November.
}
_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.
}

_cdrom_ {
The UNESCO CD-ROM containing Greenstone 2.50, plus all documentation (English/French/Spanish/Russian), plus 11 documented example collections, plus associated software like Java and ImageMagick, is available at no charge from Jean-Claude Dauphin ([email protected]) or Susannah Farey ([email protected]). <a href="_httppagex_(bugs)">Here</a> is a list of known issues, with hints on how to sidestep them.
}

_gsdl260_ {<a href="_httppagex_(download)">Download</a> Greenstone v2.60, a major stable release that features up-to-date French, Spanish and Russian translations (thanks to UNESCO and volunteers Olena Medelyan, Doug Carter, Jesús Tramullas, Vincent Dubuc, Bernardo Liévano, Jorge Eduardo Estrada and Georges Braoudakis), updated GLI documentation, and many other improvements and bug fixes.}

_upgradeyourgreenstoneinstallation_ {
If you are running the Local Library server on Windows, you can download a small package to upgrade to Greenstone 2.52. <a href="http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/greenstone/gsdl-2.51-locallibrary-to-2.52-upgrade.zip?download">Upgrade from Greenstone 2.51</a>, or <a href="http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/greenstone/gsdl-2.50-locallibrary-to-2.52-upgrade.zip?download">upgrade from Greenstone 2.50</a>. If you are upgrading a UNESCO 2.50 CD-ROM, you should delete the macros\\home.dm file and rename the macros\\home.dm.bak file to macros\\home.dm after the upgrade has finished.
}

_glp260_ {
<a href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=12123&package_id=89483">Download</a> all the language interfaces available for the Greenstone digital library software (version 2.60 only): the four "core" languages English, French, Spanish, Russian; and interfaces for Arabic, Armenian, Bengali, Catalan, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Croatian, Czech, Dutch, Farsi, Finnish, Galician, Georgian, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Kannada, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Latvian, Maori, Mongolian, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Portuguese (Portugal), Serbian, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, Vietnamese.
}

_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, currently being implemented. Standard Greenstone (Greenstone 2) remains the best choice for almost all users. 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_ {
Although the deadline has passed, it would still be helpful if you completed the <a href="http://www.lib.wayne.edu/org/greenstone/survey.php">User Survey</a> form. Results of the survey will be posted here shortly.
}

_spanishusersgroup_ {
There is now a Greenstone Spanish Users Group; more information <a href="http://greenstone.docunautica.com">here</a>.
}

_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="_httppagex_(intn)">other languages</a>.  We are looking for <a
href="_httppagex_(intn)#maintainers">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 project members.
}

_t8_ {
Also, the collect.cfg files for many of the collections at <a
href="http://www.nzdl.org">www.nzdl.org</a> have been made available <a
href="_httppagex_(colcfg)">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 download and install Greenstone v2.60, the language pack, and the documented example collections, it will look exactly like <a href="http://www.nzdl.org/cgi-bin/gsdl-2.60/library">this</a>. If you install Greenstone from the UNESCO CD-ROM, it will look similar but with just the four languages English, French, Spanish and Russian.

package download

_t18_ {Download Greenstone}

_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_ {
Note that Greenstone will also run on 16 bit Windows (that is, Windows
3.1/3.11). The installer program used by this distribution will not work on
these versions of Windows however. Please <a
href="_httppagex_(support)">contact us</a> if you need a version of
Greenstone for 16 bit Windows.
}

_t25_ {
Using this distribution you may either install the "local
library", the "web library", or install and compile the
source code (click <a href="_httppagex_(faqinst)#12">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>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.
}

_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="_httppagex_(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.
}

_langpack_ {Greenstone Language Pack}

_langpackdesc_ {
This package contains the interface to Greenstone in various different language versions; see <a href="_httppagex_(intn)">here</a> for details.
}

_t40_ {Export to CD-ROM package}

_t41_ {
This package enables the "export to CD-ROM" function from within the Greenstone Librarian Interface and the Collector. To use it you must already have Greenstone installed on your computer.
}

_t42_ {
To install, simply download the file (it will work on both Windows and Unix
with Greenstone 2.52) and extract the zip archive into
the gsdl\\bin\\windows directory of your existing Greenstone installation.
}

_t43_ {
The following utilities have been developed to be used along with
Greenstone.
}

_dllearningteachingmaterial_ {The following packages should help you learn more about Greenstone, and teach it to others.}

_dlteachingmaterialdesc_ {Packages of material prepared for various Greenstone workshops; see <a href="_httppagex_(docs)#teachingmaterial">here</a> for details.}

_dldocumentedexamplecollectionsdesc_ {Greenstone collections whose "about" page describes how they are constructed; see <a href="_httppagex_(docs)#documentedexamplecollections">here</a> for details.}

_t44_ {The Organizer}

_t45_ {
The Organizer is a Windows application useful for automatically generating
many of the configuration files (metadata.xml, sub.txt etc.)  required by
complex Greenstone collections.
}

_t46_ {
To install, simply download and double-click the self-extracting executable
file.
}

Also, by choosing in the GLI to base a new collection on one of these collections you can inherit the style and formatting of the collection without having to recreate it.
<p>
To reduce the size of this package the collections come unbuilt. After unpacking them into your Greenstone "collect" directory, you will need to build them from the GLI (or from the command line) before viewing them. The collections can also be viewed at <a href="http://www.nzdl.org/cgi-bin/library#documentedexamplecollections">http://www.nzdl.org</a>.
}

_t100_ {
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, this
document presents, and explains, the configuration files for a few actual
Greenstone collections, and also gives an example of how Greenstone's
appearance can be customized. (Note, this document is intended to be used
with Greenstone version 2.40 and higher.)

package intn

_t278_ {Internationalizing Greenstone}

_t279_ {There are several different levels of Greenstone language support.}

_t280_ {Core languages}

_t281_ {
English, French, Spanish, and Russian are Greenstone core languages.  For
these there is a full translation, including interface, documentation,
sample collections, installation instructions. They have been produced in
conjunction with UNESCO and are distributed with all versions of
Greenstone, including the CD-ROM version. They are updated whenever the
CD-ROM is re-issued (so far, approximately once a year).
}

_t282_ {Full translation}

_t283_ {
Full translations of Greenstone include the interface and all the
documentation. Translating the documentation is a big job, and so far,
apart from the UNESCO-supported CD-ROM project, there is only one example
-- Kazakh. We would like to encourage more people to do full translations.
}

_t284_ {Maintained interface-only translation}

_t285_ {
"Maintained" translations include the language interface and a
designated person who updates it. The Greenstone interface has been
translated into many languages. However, the system is growing and language
interfaces become out-dated as new features are added to the software. For
each language, we are hoping to find a volunteer who undertakes to
periodically maintain the interface for that language.
}

_t286_ {Unmaintained interface-only translation}

_t287_ {
The interface comes in two parts: a "core" part that contains the
basic digital library interface, and an "auxiliary" part that
concerns functionality that is generally only used by the library
maintainer (e.g. the Administration pages and the Collector). Many language
interfaces just contain the core part; since the core changes relatively
slowly these are mostly fairly complete. However, some unmaintained
translations are rather out of date.
}

_t288_ {In progress}

_t289_ {For some languages, the translation process is still in progress.}

_t290_ {
When you download Greenstone, the core language interfaces (English,
French, Spanish and Russian) come automatically. The other languages are
provided in a separate package which can be <a
href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=12123&release_id=173035">downloaded</a>
and installed as required. This makes the downloads smaller, and for those
who do not need all the languages Greenstone is slightly smaller and
faster.

_t325_ {Information for language maintainers}

_t326_ {
There are two methods for working with Greenstone language interface (apart
from editing the macro files directly, which is not recommended).
}

_t327_ {Spreadsheet}

_t328_ {
We send you an Excel spreadsheet that contains all the English text
strings, with empty cells for the translation. You fill it in and return
it, and we install it in Greenstone. This method is probably the best for
large-scale translation, but requires Microsoft software.
}

_t329_ {Greenstone Translator's Interface}

_t330_ {
The Greenstone translator's interface is a Web tool that presents the
English text strings needing translation, and provides boxes for entering
the translated text. Once submitted, translations are stored in the
appropriate language file. The system automatically determines which text
strings need translating or updating, and can easily be used to update a
language interface.
}

_t331_ {
Generally it is best to use the spreadsheet to create the basic interface
and the translation interface to fine tune or update it in the future. In
either case you need a username and password, which we supply to designated
Greenstone language maintainers.
}

_t331extra_ {If you are interested, you can play with
an open version of the system by logging into <a
href="http://www.nzdl.org/cgi-bin/translate/library">this page</a> with
username "guest" and no password, though if you do this you cannot save the
results.
}

_t332_ {
To register as a designated Greenstone language maintainer, please send a
request to Michael Dewsnip (<a
href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a>). As
soon as you receive your password please change it by going to <a
href="http://www.nzdl.org/cgi-bin/translate/library">this page</a>,
choosing the administration option, clicking the "change password" option
on the left hand side, and following the instructions.
}

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

_t334_ {Language-dependent text in Greenstone}

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

_t336_ {User interface}

_t337_ {Core}

_t338_ {Text used in the basic digital library interface for Greenstone}

_t339_ {On-line help for the basic digital library interface}

_t356_ {Installation}

_t357_ {Unix}

_t358_ {Text in install.sh and setup.bash.}

_t359_ {We do not translate text strings that appear during the
configuration process (./configure), because people installing programs on
Unix usually do so using English.}

_t360_ {Windows}

_t361_ {Text in the InstallShield installer used for Greenstone, and
setup.bat.}

_t362_ {InstallShield comes with many different languages, and we are not
responsible for these translations.}

_t363_ {Both}

_t364_ {The install.txt file}

_t365_ {Licence}

_t366_ {
The GNU General Public Licence is written in English, and official
translations into other languages do not exist. However, an unofficial
translation is appended to the licence text that is presented during the
installation process.
