Hi Carl,

I am thinking about doing something like that.  But we have never
stored the actual content (eg. image files) in Greenstone.  We have
a custom plugin we use to import the metadata into Greenstone,
including links to the content files.  I haven't looked at the new
DSpace plugin but I was presuming it would be easier to adapt our
existing plugin and use handle-based bitstream URIs for the content
links.  This way the content is managed in DSpace and Greenstone is
a delivery mechanism...and not the only one as it is now.

I would be interested in any experience others have had with DSpace
feeding into Greenstone.
