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.
## XVM
[XVM](http://xvm.mit.edu) offers virtual machines to the MIT community—complete systems which you control and maintain from the operating system up. Create a new machine with the click of a button. Start with our three-minute Debian or Ubuntu installer, or install an operating system of your choice.
## 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 sipb and outland
lockers, and even more have their own lockers in SIPB AFS. SIPB's
whichlocker program, located in outland, makes locker
software easy to find. (add outland; whichlocker whichlocker)
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 [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
cluedump-announce@mit.edu 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.
## Clockworks
[[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 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 dodona@mit.edu.
## 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.
