 <h4>The Greenstone software</h4>
 
-<p> The Greenstone Digital Library software provides a new way of organizing
-information and making it available over the Internet.  A <i>collection</i> of
-information comprises several (typically several thousand, or even several
-million) <i>documents</i>, which share a uniform searching and browsing
-interface.  The collections in a library are organized in a different
-way--though they share a strong family resemblance.  Although primarily
-designed for access over the Web, Greenstone collections can be made available,
-in precisely the same form, on CD-ROM for standalone PCs.  Greenstone is
-open-source software, available under the terms of the Gnu public linense.

+<h4>Greenstone Collections</h4>
+Several of the smaller collections on this website are available for
+download. Once the main Greenstone distribution is installed simply
+download the required collection and extract the gzipped tar file to your
+gsdl/collect directory. You then need to import and build your new
+collection. See <i>The Greenstone Digital Library Software</i> manual for
+details on importing and building collections. The Greenstone software will
+automatically notice your new collection and include it in the home page
+once it has been built successfully.
