Jones is the main computational linguistics server. It has all of the corpora and hence most development tools. It is located in 328 along with SmithServer.

The corpora are in /Volumes/Data/Corpora and are organised by two-letter language code, or by three-letter language code for the more obscure ones. All the languages may eventually switch over to the three-letter codes.

All the usual languages are available (JonesLanguages). Subversion and CVS are installed at /Volumes/Data/svnrep and /Volumes/Data/csvrep. Subversion is available via svn+ssh connections (more details later). Darcs is also available if you're into that sort of thing. Of course vim, emacs and nano are available.

You can get a key to 328 if you want to work on jones locally, although it's usually more convenient to work remotely. To do this you may need to learn How to use SSH.

We are thinking of installing mod_python on jones since most of us use Python and it would help speed up any web-accessible code.

Another possibility is WSGI. Here are some links for OS X.

A weekly backup of jones happens to /Volumes/Backup. Users_backup.newest is this week's, and the last month is kept in Users_backup.1, etc. The Subversion repository is also backed up.

We are currently cataloguing JonesCorpora, but haven't actually started yet.
