+[[!meta title="Projects and Services"]]
+
+Consider [[getting involved|join]] in one of these projects.
+
+## scripts.mit.edu
+
+[scripts.mit.edu](http://scripts.mit.edu/) is a Linux/Apache web hosting platform for the MIT
+community.  Any Athena user or group locker can host dynamic web applications
+written in PHP, Perl, Python, Ruby, or any other language, or automatically
+install popular blog, wiki, and other software via the quick-start
+autoinstallers.
+
+## linux.mit.edu
+
+[Linerva](http://linerva.mit.edu), aka linux.mit.edu,
+is SIPB's Linux shell server for all MIT users. Linerva is
+fast, runs popular Linux software, and allows long-lasting login
+sessions.
+
+## Debathena
+
+[Debathena](http://debathena.mit.edu) brings the full functionality of Athena to your Debian or
+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.
+
+## Library Access to Music Project (LAMP)
+
+[LAMP](http://lamp.mit.edu) is an electronic music library for the MIT community.  Request
+songs from a selection of 1840 CDs at [lamp.mit.edu](http://lamp.mit.edu/) and tune in
+on MIT cable TV to hear your music play.
+
+## 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.
+
+## IAP Classes and Cluedumps
+
+SIPB organizes dozens of intensive [classes](http://sipb.mit.edu/iap) on computing topics during
+IAP.  During the fall term SIPB also offers a series of [Cluedump](http://cluedumps.mit.edu)
+talks, with a different topic each week.  Add yourself to
+<tt>cluedump-announce@mit.edu</tt> if you're interested.
+
+## Ask SIPB
+
+SIPB publishes [Ask SIPB](http://www.mit.edu/~asksipb/), a regular column in The Tech explaining technical tools useful on Athena and at MIT generally.
+
+## Mailman-ACL
+
+First steps towards improving compatibility of Mailman and Moira mailing list systems: enabling mutual access controls and building compatible command-line configuration tools for Mailman.  Our [[plan|projects/mailman-acl]] to accomplish this is in progress. 
+
+## 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.
+
+## Your Project Here
+
+SIPB has the resources and the expert advice to make your project to
+improve computing at MIT (better, the world) happen!  Come by W20-557
