The usual way to index things in Inducks is to use a normal text editor, 
and there are text editors for all operative systems I know of.  I 
myself usually use Vim for indexing.  One indexer made an indexing 
script for use with KWrite, and I think Per Starbäck had an Emacs script 
at some point.

The format of the index is explained at 
http://bolderbast.inducks.org/xf0short.html .

Some indexers use various database systems, but I don't know if any of 
those indexers uses Linux.

In order to submit your indices to Inducks, you need a CVS client that 
supports SSH connections.  The combination OpenSSH + command-line CVS 
(both usually included with all Linux distributions) works fine for me. 
  You also need a password & user name on our server, which is usually 
only given to active indexers.  Others may mail their indices to an 
indexer who will then submit the changes to the server.
