Hi, welcome to another episode of Hacker Public Radio. This is Plexi and I'll be your host
|
||
|
|
this evening. This episode isn't very technical. It basically sketches a project I'm working
|
||
|
|
on for the summer and I'm shamelessly plugging it in my HBR episode. This might be interesting
|
||
|
|
for those of you who are interested in linguistics and languages, AI, that kind of stuff. The project
|
||
|
|
consists of a forum, an RRC server, a podcast, and a general news page for linguistics. Kind
|
||
|
|
of like Ben Rev, except for linguistics instead of hacking. The purpose of the project is to
|
||
|
|
build a community, community of linguistic, linguistic tackers, I guess. People who aren't
|
||
|
|
necessarily academically or professionally involved in either linguistics or computer science. But to
|
||
|
|
have the curiosity in the world to do fun stuff related to linguistics, language, AI, you know,
|
||
|
|
that kind of stuff. This being a one person project so far, I'd really appreciate any comment,
|
||
|
|
suggestion, feedback, and help. The podcast will start as a weekly radio show until I gather enough
|
||
|
|
hosts to get a daily or every other day show going on. I'll offer free hosting for advertisement
|
||
|
|
as long as they are relevant and useful to the community. For instance, relevant job listings
|
||
|
|
for linguists are useful and would get posted. Mail enhancement techniques are not
|
||
|
|
relevant, they are not useful and would not get posted. There's a related comic made by a
|
||
|
|
friend of mine that will be updated once a month, that will be posted on there. The news feed will
|
||
|
|
be at the beginning, added manually, because I'm not sure I want to evolve good Google
|
||
|
|
crawlers or anything like that yet. And then hopefully, when I build a crawler, I'll set up some
|
||
|
|
kind of controlled news feed that only puts relevant news to like the field. So far, the
|
||
|
|
chat is going to be a PGRC applet to a server that is dedicated for linguistics. There will be
|
||
|
|
free opening of channels. Well, anyone can open a channel, but there will also be about 10 channels
|
||
|
|
that will always be there. I'm currently looking for podcasts hosts, anyone who's good in PHP and
|
||
|
|
would be interested in working on the crawler would be very useful too. I'm definitely looking
|
||
|
|
for feedback and well, that's pretty much it. Anyone who's willing to join would be great.
