## Greenstone users

- Building collections on a remote Greenstone server (En Español).

  This scheme allows users to augment and edit collections that are held on a remote Greenstone server. Users work with a modified version of the Greenstone Librarian Interface but do not need to have Greenstone running locally. Multiple users can collaborate on the same collection (though not at the same time).

## Greenstone developers

- User Feedback Mechanism Documentation

  This is detailed documentation of the user feedback software incorporated into Greenstone under the “Send Feedback” button. It covers the design rationale and the artifact and is intended for those wishing to extend or modify the software. It is a companion document to the “Greenstone Developers’ Guide”. If you want to know the purpose of the software, you should read the papers listed as “further reading” at the end of this report.

- I’d like to complain: system test plan

  Having developed some usability reporting software for Greenstone, it is necessary to test it. This document is broken up into two parts: a description of the software, and a description of the ideal test circumstances. To examine the system discussed in this document go to http://nzdl2.cs.waikato.ac.nz/cgi-bin/dana/library; to examine the source go to /nzdl/public_html/dana/gsdl on nikau.
