Hi Tang,
thanks for the suggestions, I think I will try to change the catalog.jsp
instead of adding the link to the Server Info page. No one really goes to the
Info page and the link would stay buried over there.
Regarding how to keep changes in the datasets, the list of datasets I have
available in my server is small so I just manually edit the test file when
something is modified. But I think it would be fairly simple to write a script
using wget or similar to craw the pages and download all the xml files
describing the datasets. When a change was detected a new file describing what
was changed could then be written.
Greetings
