Donations and Contract Research
Greenstone is distributed free under the GNU General Public License, and will continue to be. We provide support by responding to queries on the email lists, and will continue to do this to the best of our ability - but we cannot guarantee this service, particularly with increasing traffic. For those with funds, there are further opportunities.
Become a Friend of Greenstone... and we will prioritize response to your queries on the email lists, and provide up to one day per year of a project member's time to look at your particular problems. The cost is US$2000 per annum (by donation or invoice); to join, email us. As a token of our appreciation you will receive a small sliver of New Zealand Greenstone as a keepsake.
Want a new feature? The Greenstone research group undertakes contract research to enhance Greenstone by adding new facilities and features. Here are some examples of what we'd like to do - if we had financial support. Contact greenstone@cs.waikato.ac.nz.
