| I apologize for taking up the list's time, but I have spent many hours going nowhere with this tool.
I have several thousand HTML documents that I wish to import; they have various metadata tags associated with them to show some associated information (theme, some information relating to dates the source material is about, etc.). I have tried adding various combinations of lines in the collection file but to no avail. I have read the various papers available on the Greenstone site and they do nothing to help. I have bought and read a book about digital libraries and it also leaves me stumped. Could someone PLEASE provide the minimum bits I need ? I need to know exactly what to put in a configuration file to have it see and list these new metadata tags. Everything I do it ignores. If I have to handcode every document and create entries for every single metadata item I think this tool will be left in the wastebin of history. I am beyond frustrated with this tool -- I spent an equivalent amount of time -- 50 hours or so -- to create an interactive map with various layers and interactivity using an opensource tool. With Greenstone my first 50 hours of work equals a big pile of nothing. With fading hopes, Greg Williamson
