Basically. We actually produce directly the format that import.pl
stores in the archive, so GAPlug is all we need. But we started with
just HTML pages until we figured some things out.

Unix. Linux test box, FreeBSD production.

Not that I'm aware of. Greenstone appears to be designed for adding
stuff to collections, but not taking it away (which seems reasonable
to me).

Also, I used the Collector (the web UI) while I was getting familiar
with Greenstone, but haven't touched it for awhile. I can only see
using it if non-technical people need to stuff. For my own
convenience, I wrote a Makefile to automate building and moving
indices into place.

Thanks. I'm fond of it myself. (I am, of course, personally
responsible for all of the civic features that you enjoy. Bwah, ha,
ha!)
