Well, Greenstone is certainly worth a Wikipedia page. On that page, however, it must be noted that Greenstone uses a unique macro file format and syntax. As a result, to work well with Greenstone requires a significant amount of spin-up time during which the librarian learns how to interact with the files and how they work together. Once implemented, the software is quite robust and effective -- but given alternatives like dspace and eprints, there seems to be little reason to use it. - t
