+The [[SIPB Documentation Project|doc/project]] is a project to document in written form the collective knowledge that SIPB members take for granted or use in maintaining services and projects that is not otherwise written down anywhere.

## scripts.mit.edu
[scripts.mit.edu](http://scripts.mit.edu/) is a Linux/Apache web hosting platform for the MIT
Ubuntu system. Install Athena wholesale or in small pieces—a few
client utilities, or a full system with Athena-account logins and AFS
home directories. You can even run software like Matlab or Mathematica
-straight from Athena lockers. Debathena is also the basis for the official
-[Athena 10](http://athena10.mit.edu) due to replace Athena 9 in 2009.

## XVM
-[XVM](http://xvm.mit.edu) offers virtual machines to the MIT community. A virtual machine is similar to a physical server you might own: you have complete control over its configuration from the operating system up and are personally responsible for keeping the machine up-to-date. XVM removes the physical component and lets you create new machines with the click of a button. Set up a machine, and use it how you like.

+[[Clockworks|projects/clockworks]] is the open-source equivalent of Doodle, which allows event organizers to easily poll people about what times are best for them.
+
+## Dodona
+
+[Dodona](http://dodona.mit.edu/) is a zephyrbot which uses natural language processing techniques to dynamically understand and answer technical questions. She is still under development, and future additions include a website interface for non-zephyr users. For questions or comments, please email <tt>dodona@mit.edu</tt>.

+## Wakeup
+
+[Wakeup](http://wakeup.mit.edu/) is a demo service powered by Scripts and the SIPB VoIP server. Currently, Wakeup will call your phone at the time you specify. Future functionality may include the ability to set up recurring calls, as well as an interface for monitoring and canceling your scheduled calls. Please direct questions, comments, and suggestions to <tt>[wakeup@mit.edu](mailto:wakeup@mit.edu)</tt>.

-[[Clockworks|projects/clockworks]] is the open-source equivalent of Doodle, which allows event organizers to easily poll people about what times are best for them.
+Spawned from the original sipbmp3, a music spooler, Gutenbach is a Debian package maintained by SIPB members. Once installed on a server, it allows users to queue music to be played from that server using lprng. Please email <tt>[gutenbach@mit.edu](mailto:gutenbach@mit.edu)</tt> with questions, comments, or suggestions.

+A web app that lets users create a document, and then it texs the document nicely for them, based on some template that they've selected, and gives them a PDF. They have the ability to edit the source or just use the WYSIWYG editor. You can see the current version (in development) [http://mitex.mit.edu](http://mitex.mit.edu). Please email [mitex@mit.edu](mailto:mitex@mit.edu) with questions, comments, or suggestions (or if you'd like to get on board!).
## This Website
This website is a wiki. There are many [[things that can be improved|projects/www]], both on the content level and on the programming level.
+## Other Projects
+
+Here's a [[list|projects/ideas]] of some other, smaller projects SIPB members would like
+to work on. For (recent-)historical interest, a list of some [past projects](http://stuff.mit.edu/sipb/project-list.html) circa 2000-2007 also exists. On December 13, 2008, [[we squashed|projects/lenny-bugs]] a [[bunch of bugs|projects/lenny-bugs-all]] in Debian Lenny.
