board computer. It currently uses the Geode SC1100 and Atheros WiFi NIC, but

<listitem><para>lists@mjhall.org proposed to write a Computational Linguistics
|

HOWTO. This HOWTO would briefly survey the major branches of contemporary

computational linguistics and the major types of linguistics software, and then
|
||||
catalogue Linux software available in each category. An extensive bibliography
|
||||
and list of resources such as websites and mailing lists would also included.
|

Some general advice would also be offered on system configuration for
|
||||
linguistics work. Martin Wheeler and Rahul Sundaram were excited about the
|

idea. </para></listitem>

|
||||
<para>In a discussion thread concerning modifiability of documentation and
|
||||
data, Rahul Sundaram commented that most people dont care about whether the
|
||||
source code is modifiable but that, that doesn't mean we say we dont care about
|
||||
Free or open source software. David Lawyer responded indicating that there is
|
||||
a difference between software and documents. David said <quote>Software needs
|
||||
to be free since it's relatively hard to write it and much of it is reusable.
|
||||
But for documentation, the situation is a lot different. I've looked at a few
|
||||
of our old documents that are out-of-date and they mostly need to be entirely
|
||||
rewritten. This can be done even if the doc doesn't allow modification. Why?
|
||||
Because one uses the info in the obsolete doc plus information in other docs to
|
||||
write a new doc. Facts are not copyrighted.</quote> David was in favour of
|
||||
modifiable documents, but not as stronly as Rahul was. An interesting
|
||||
discussion ensued. </para>
