It provides a new way of organizing information and publishing it on the Internet or on CD-ROM. Greenstone is produced by the New Zealand Digital Library Project at the University of Waikato, and developed and distributed in cooperation with UNESCO and the Human Info NGO. It is open-source, multilingual software, issued under the terms of the GNU General Public License. Read the Greenstone Fact Sheet for more information. } _namur_ { The Greenstone project is the seventh recipient of the biennial Namur award, 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 Bangalore, India in August; Dakar, Senegal in September, and Suva, Fiji in November. } _t3.save_ {Here 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 (jc.dauphin@unesco.org) or Susannah Farey (s.farey@unesco.org). Here is a list of known issues, with hints on how to sidestep them. } _gsdl260_ {Download 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.} _gsdl253_ {Download Greenstone v2.53, which includes many bug fixes as well as several major additions, including: a brand new installer; much improved GLI compatibility with Java 1.5.0; the ability to import documents exported from DSpace, and vice versa; a smarter HTMLPlug that blocks the images in the HTML files it processes, and no others; new GLI metadata sets: Qualified Dublin Core, NZGLS, AGLS, and RFC 1807; Lucene building support (for real this time!); an improved and much more bandwidth-efficient GLI applet; support for subfields in the Greenstone Editor for Metadata Sets (GEMS). } _upgradeyourgreenstoneinstallation_ { If you are running the Local Library server on Windows, you can download a small package to upgrade to Greenstone 2.52. Upgrade from Greenstone 2.51, or upgrade from Greenstone 2.50. 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. } _glp253_ { Download all the language interfaces available for the Greenstone digital library software (version 2.53 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, Portuguese (Brazil), Portuguese (Portugal), Serbian, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, Vietnamese. } _support_ { We have reorganised our Support page, 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. Greenstone 3 home page. } _survey_ { Although the deadline has passed, it would still be helpful if you completed the User Survey form. Results of the survey will be posted here shortly. } _spanishusersgroup_ { There is now a Greenstone Spanish Users Group; more information here. } _t4_ { Download 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 nzdl.org 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 English, French, Spanish, Russian and Kazakh. Greenstone also has interfaces in many other languages. We are looking for volunteers 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 How to build a digital library, authored by two of the group's project members. } _t8_ { Also, the collect.cfg files for many of the collections at www.nzdl.org have been made available here. } _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 Greenstone and install it with standard demonstration collections, or if you install it from the Greenstone CD-ROM, it will look exactly like this. } ####################################################################### package download _t18_ {Download Greenstone} _t19_ { Greenstone is open-source software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License.

This makes the downloads smaller, and for those who do not need all the languages Greenstone is slightly smaller and faster. } _tnzdl_ {NZDL Project} _tunesco_ {UNESCO} _t291_ {Here is a summary of the languages currently supported:} _languagesinprogress_ {Here is a summary of the languages in progress:} _t292_ {Language} _t293_ {Status} _t294_ {Maintainer} _t302_ {core} _t313_ {full} _t300_ {maintained} _t296_ {unmaintained} _t298_ {in progress} _beingupdated_ {being updated} _t295_ {Arabic} _armenian_ {Armenian} _bengali_ {Bengali} _bislama_ {Bislama} _siksika_ {Blackfoot/Siksika} _lng5_ {Bosnian} _catalan_ {Catalan} _t297_ {Chinese (Simplified)} _chinesetrad_ {Chinese (Traditional)} _lng4_ {Croatian} _t299_ {Czech} _t301_ {English} _t303_ {Dutch} _farsi_ {Farsi} _t304_ {French} _lng1_ {Finnish} _t305_ {Galician} _georgian_ {Georgian} _t306_ {German} _t307_ {Greek} _t308_ {Hebrew} _lng2_ {Hindi} _hungarian_ {Hungarian} _t309_ {Indonesian} _t310_ {Italian} _t311_ {Japanese} _lng3_ {Kannada} _t312_ {Kazakh} _kyrgyz_ {Kyrgyz} _latvian_ {Latvian} _t314_ {Maori} _marathi_ {Marathi} _mongolian_ {Mongolian} _t315_ {Nepali} _polish_ {Polish} _t316_ {Portuguese (Brazil)} _t317_ {Portuguese (Portugal)} _romanian_ {Romanian} _t318_ {Russian} _t319_ {Serbian} _t320_ {Spanish} _t321_ {Thai} _t322_ {Turkish} _t323_ {Ukrainian} _t324_ {Vietnamese} _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 this page 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 (mdewsnip@cs.waikato.ac.nz). As soon as you receive your password please change it by going to this page, 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.
