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

Marcelo Andrioni
