## IAP Classes and Cluedumps
SIPB organizes dozens of [IAP classes](http://sipb.mit.edu/iap) each year on technical topics both serious and fun. During the fall term SIPB also offers a series of [Cluedump talks](http://cluedumps.mit.edu), with a different topic each week. Add yourself to <tt>cluedump-announce@mit.edu</tt> if you're interested. We're also looking for MIT students to [help keep them running smoothly](http://sipb.mit.edu/join/edu).

+* The SIPB AFS Cell and Locker Software: SIPB maintains hundreds of useful [[programs in AFS lockers|projects/lockers]] for use on Athena. Many popular programs are in the <tt>sipb</tt> and <tt>outland</tt> lockers, and even more have their own lockers in SIPB AFS. SIPB's <tt>whichlocker</tt> program, located in <tt>outland</tt>, makes locker software easy to find. (<tt>add outland; whichlocker whichlocker</tt>). The [[SIPB AFS-Moira synchronizer|projects/sipb-afs-sync]] can automatically synchronize
+some AFS groups in the SIPB cell with Moira groups.
+
+* [Feed](https://feed.mit.edu/) is a free RSS reader (running [Tiny Tiny RSS](http://tt-rss.org/)) available to MIT account holders.
+
+* [SIPB Domain Name Service](http://web.mit.edu/afs/sipb/project/zoned/doc/) provides master or slave name service for personal domains of MIT affiliates. With SIPB DNS as a master name server, your domain is generated every hour from a file in your Athena home directory. It can also serve as a slave name server, providing redundancy with existing name servers.
* [etherpad.mit.edu](http://etherpad.mit.edu) is an MIT-specific installation of Etherpad, a real-time collaborative text editor. Please email [etherpad@mit.edu](mailto:etherpad@mit.edu) with questions, comments, or suggestions. If you'd like to get involved, send mail to [etherpad-dev@mit.edu](mailto:etherpad-dev@mit.edu). We're looking for developers with experience or interest in Java, SQL, and system maintenance, as well as HTML, Javascript, and CSS.
-* __MITeX__ is a web app that lets users edit a TeX document (either source or WYSIWYG), using a template, and then compiles to a PDF (or PS or DVI, etc.). This way, people can create beautiful documents entirely from the web. You can see the current version (in development) at [http://mitex.mit.edu](http://mitex.mit.edu). You can see the newest features that we're trying out at [http://dev.mitex.scripts.mit.edu](http://dev.mitex.scripts.mit.edu).

## 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.
