bring up your own Firewall, Wireless Access Point and VPN Server on a single

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

could easily be extended to include other hardware, drivers and services.

<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>Modifiability of documentation and software</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>In a discussion thread concerning modifiability of documentation and
|
|
data, Rahul Sundaram commented that most people don't care about whether the
|
|
source code is modifiable but that, that doesn't mean we say we don't 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of our old documents that are out-of-date and they mostly need to be entirely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 strongly as Rahul was. An interesting
|
|
discussion ensued. </para>
