Clay and Annemarie and list: I got some sort of bounce message, I hope message will not be bounced. this url explains greenstone in the context of digital collections. http://www.sadl.uleth.ca/nz/cgi-bin/library?e=q-000-00---0gsarch--00-0-0-0pr ompt-10---4----dtx--0-1l--1-en-50---20-about-ead--00001-001-1-0utfZz-8-00&a= d&c=gsarch&cl=search&d=HASHb90fcf54c318a63cd855f4s29 you can see this in action at: http://www.sadl.uleth.ca/gsdl/cgi-bin/library and information on greenstone can be searched by selecting the greenstone collection and searching for EAD. Clay from what I read on the Greenstone devel list, the next release 3.0 of GS will "support xml".

Does Greenstone now support arbitrary XML formats now, or still only its own XML format? I tried Greenstone 2.39, but didn't like it because I would've needed to transform the EAD to the Greenstone XML format to make it work. It works well if you're not lazy like me. :)
