Here are details of an experimental version that you can download (En Español). } _gs3proto_ { Greenstone 3 is a complete redesign of Greenstone, with version 3.01 released on sourceforge in November 2005. This is our research version and is still incomplete; the production version (Greenstone 2) is recommended for almost all users (and is still being developed and improved). Greenstone 3 will serve existing collections without any change whatsoever, so there is no danger of becoming out-moded by continuing with Greenstone 2.

We hope that this software will encourage the effective deployment of digital libraries to share information and place it in the public domain.
