[CS241] [Fwd: ACL ANNOUNCEMENT: A WIKI FOR COMPUTATIONAL LINGUISTICS]

[Matt Lease]

someone asked about finding the CL society and information online -- 
this might be a good starting place, though content could be low since 
it's new.

A WIKI FOR COMPUTATIONAL LINGUISTICS

The ACL has created a new wiki specifically for Computational Linguistics:

http://aclweb.org/aclwiki

The purpose of this wiki is to facilitate the sharing of information on
all aspects of Computational Linguistics.

Wikipedia contains some excellent articles on Computational Linguistics,
but the mandate of Wikipedia is to be an encyclopedia. This means that
Wikipedia articles must be written for a general audience, not for
specialists. It also means that content such as job ads and course
outlines is not suitable for Wikipedia. Therefore this new wiki was
created to fill a role that Wikipedia cannot fill.

You are all invited to visit the new wiki and to make your own
contributions to the wiki. Anybody can edit the text in the ACL Wiki for
Computational Linguistics by setting up an account and logging into the
wiki.

The ACL thanks Dragomir Radev, Steven Bird, Ali Hakim, and Peter Turney
for setting up the wiki.
