+It might be useful to say in the tutorial that the user has to enter the metadata content, either by opeing the individual html pages or do copy/paste using the metadata.xml file available in the import folder of dls collection on CD-ROM

+For a new collection for which the user does not use any existing collection as model, 'extracted Greenstone metadata' (extract.mds) can be shown as the default metadata
+NCSI, Indian Institute of Science
+Unknown
+6
+Fixed 11-08-03
+Extracted metadata set should be automatically included in all collections, with the user being given the ability to view/hide it. Warnings should be given to the user if hidden extracted metadata exists

+203B009
+Enrich step: Metadata: Support for defining subfields (e.g. 'first name, middle name, and last name' for creator, 'organization, place, country' for publisher), and adding data to these subfields will be required
+NCSI, Indian Institute of Science
+Unknown
+6
+Fixed 18-08-03
+Current metadata set schema easily extended to include subfields - complete. You can now add elements within other elements. A GUI representation more difficult - a Tree/Table hybrid is being considered. 
+
+203B010
+Enrich step: Associate help instructions with each metadata which can be viewed by content staff, if in doubt about format, etc. These help instructions can be added by the user in the metadata set edit facility

+How do I import metadata of an existing collection, whose metadata files were created using Organizer or through some other means (e.g. by exporting from cds/isis database in the format required by Greenstone DTD) - batch mode support for processing 'metadata.xml', and associated '.txt' files will be very useful. This is particularly essential if I wish to add new records to such collections using GLI

+NCSI, Indian Institute of Science
+Unknown

+Nothing to do
+Such detail specified in macro files. GLI doesn't edit these
+
+203B016
+Design step: (Indexes, Plug-ins, Classifiers and Format features). These are the most important aspects of GSDL. I think it is very important that the online help should either point to relevant sections in the user/developer manual or better still has feature-specific help files in PDF format (e.g. 'classifier-help.pdf') which can be linked from within the related online help screens. These PDF help files can contain greater details, including examples
+NCSI, Indian Institute of Science

+Create step - import and build options - is the user expected to fill all these boxes (e.g. archivedir') or does the system take default values (and what are these) - this is not made clear. Best if these boxes are shown with default values

+Create/collection building. If a metadata field has data with "" (double quotes), we get the error message like "gimport\metadata.xml is not a well formed metadata.xml file ( import.pl> not well-formed at line 11, column 135, byte 788 at C:/Program Files/gsdl/bin/windows/perl/lib/XML/Parser.pm line 168", and collection building aborts. After removing these characters from the input collection, collection building went through alright. Earlier I had faced (with previous beta version) similar problem with single quote character
+NCSI, Indian Institute of Science
+Unknown

+Fixed 21-08-03
+Ensure UNICode compliance. Replace " with &amp;quot; where necessary
+
+203B021
+Can we delete specific records from a collection, after it is built, without rebuilding the entire collection? It appears this is not possible. An additional step 'Modify' or 'maintain' in support of this feature will be very useful

+Currently not possible with Greenstone.

+203B022
+Metadata set: If I modify a metadata set (e.g. DC - by dropping an element or adding a new element) while working on a collection, does the modified metadata set gets associated to only this collection or will be applicable to all future collections that use this set?
+NCSI, Indian Institute of Science
+Unknown

+Pending
+Imported sets are specific to a collection. Other collections can import these edited sets causing a merging process. Clarify issue in online help

+Metadata set: How do attributes of a metadata field work? Do they serve the purpose of subfields?
+NCSI, Indian Institute of Science
+Unknown
+6
+Nothing to do
+Only one attribute, namespace, is widely used. Other attributes used during set merging. Not subfields
+
+203B024
+Can I add into a metadata set values associated with a field, ahead of collection building, and use this during metadata assignment? For example, hierarchical classification or a set of keywords? It appears this has to be built on the fly in GLI, during metadata addition in 'enrich' step
+NCSI, Indian Institute of Science
+Unknown
+6
+Fixed
+Values can be predefined in Metadata Set Editor. Preferred method for building hierarchies. Clarify in online help
+
+203B025
+If I modify a metadata set (e.g. DC) and adopt it for a new collection, how does this affect previous collections built using earlier version of the metadata set? Is the collection builder expected to save modified metadata sets as new metadata sets, specific to the collection? This is fine (and probably should be so), but GLI documentation needs to make this clear
+NCSI, Indian Institute of Science
+Unknown

+I use GLI to open an existing collection (which I made using buildcol.pl, etc). It gives me a really nice error message with clear instructions on what to do ... start a new collection based on this collection, then import ....

+Running Gatherer requires Java to be installed.

+Again the install program has been improved making install easier.

The help for this dialog was also misleading as to what had to be typed in to make it work properly - this has been addressed.

+Side-effect of bigger problem, although a pre-build test is a good idea. Problem caused by Windows holding a lock over a file it think is open.

+The easiest approach to this problem, which involves issues regarding what files have been loaded into memory, is to allow 'by-module' saving of a collection (which is a step towards our modular goal). What this would mean is that if a user has GLI running with just the gather and enrich views (modules) enabled, then only files from those two modules would be saved. Note that the files for the other modules would be loaded to ensure available data was there for modular interaction - but they wouldn't be saved. Thus a second user could have GLI open with design, and a third with create and preview, and all three would be able to work on the same collection (although it might sometimes get out of sync). A record of what modules where available for read/write and which were read only could be kept in the collections lock file (which is after all another easily extensible xml file).  A more ambitious idea would be to make GLI truely multiuser, by not storing files in memory, and instead providing loocking at an individual file level - although this would be difficult and require major rewrites of several parts of Gatherer.

+Introduce security to GLI
+SEDICI-UNLP
+All

+Pending
+When Greenstone had no concept of security (besides what was offered by the webserver), it didn't make much sense for GLI to have password protection, but now that Greenstone has logins/passwords at the collection level, GLI should have the same. Simply add a login/pass to the collection xml file, which must be entered before the collection will fully load.
