Documentation Wiki for Lab Software and Corpora
This is a Wiki for maintaining current information on software tools and corpora installed on the machines in the ComputationalLinguisticsLab.
Each page should include:
- Where the tool/corpus can be found
- Why you might want to use it
- What related alternatives there are
- How to use it
- Where to find further documentation
Everybody is encouraged to add tutorials and update documentation. (There is a lot that is out of date since the machines were replaced.) If you would like to see (more) information about a particular corpus or tool, put a note to that effect at the bottom of its page. If you have ideas of how to make this wiki more helpful, please place a comment on the ToDo page.
Note: Due to the relentless link-spammers and vandals, editing this wiki has been temporarily disabled!

MoinMoin Wiki
This is a MoinMoin Wiki.
A Wiki is a collaborative hypertext environment, with an emphasis on easy access to and modification of information. This wiki can also link to InterWiki space.
MoinMoin is a Python WikiClone, based on PikiPiki. The name is a common German slang expression explained on the MoinMoin page.
You can edit any page by pressing the 'edit' link at the top or bottom of the page. Two or more capitalized words joined together form a WikiName, which hyperlinks to another page. Topics that can't be coerced into a WikiName can be linked like this: ["blah"] appears as blah (The red indicates a link to a page that doesn't exist).
