To all participants in our Support Network

The Southern African  Greenstone web pages have a new home at eIFL-FOSS:


                             have a look at:  http://www.eifl.net/cps/

A word of thanks goes to the Library of the University of Namibia and  
to Renate Morgenstern who created and hosted the beginnings of the SA  
Greenstone web site.
