[Sagreenstone] Greenstone DL's under development in the region

[John Rose]

Thanks for this initiative, Stephen. It would be 
nice if the respondents could also inform whether 
they would agree to have their application 
described on (and if available online, accessed 
from) the SAGreenstone website. It would be very 
nice to have at the end of the pilot project a 
repertory of the applications developed by the 
participating institutions. Best regards, John

P.S. The only operational Greenstone collections 
that I know of in South Africa are the three 
maintained online by DISA (SAMAP, SADOSC, Durban 
in Motion) at 
http://www.disa.ukzn.ac.za:8080/disa/browse/freedom.jsp?browse=freedom 
(you have to register by registration is free and open).
