The [http://aclweb.org/aclwiki/index.php?title=Main_Page ACL Wiki] opened to the public on October 18th, 2006. The mandate of the wiki is ''to facilitate the sharing of information on all aspects of Computational Linguistics.'' The ACL Wiki includes pointers to corpora, software, journals, conferences, workshops, blogs, researcher home pages, state-of-the-art system comparisons, employment opportunities, course descriptions, and many other resources for computational linguists.

The following table summarizes the growth of the wiki. The number of page views has increased each year. The number of edits is decreasing as the content of the wiki is stabilizing. Current [http://aclweb.org/aclwiki/index.php?title=Special:Statistics statistics] are available online on the Wiki.

The wiki hosts three Community Portals:

* [http://aclweb.org/aclwiki/index.php?title=Natural_Language_Generation_Portal Natural Language Generation Portal]
* [http://aclweb.org/aclwiki/index.php?title=SemEval_Portal SemEval Portal]
* [http://aclweb.org/aclwiki/index.php?title=Textual_Entailment_Portal Textual Entailment Portal]

The portals contain a wealth of useful information for researchers in these communities. Community Portals are an excellent tool for supporting a community of researchers who share a common interest in a specific problem.

There are many interesting and useful pages in the ACL Wiki, covering a wide range of material, which makes it difficult to summarize the wiki. A good starting point for exploration might be the [http://aclweb.org/aclwiki/index.php?title=List_of_resources_by_language List of resources by language], which covers more than 50 different languages. Another useful resource is the [http://aclweb.org/aclwiki/index.php?title=List_of_NLP/CL_courses List of NLP/CL courses]. Excluding the main page of the wiki, the most popular page is the [http://aclweb.org/aclwiki/index.php?title=Employment_opportunities%2C_postdoctoral_positions%2C_summer_jobs Employment opportunities] page.

All members of ACL are strongly encouraged to contribute to the ACL Wiki. Whatever subfield of Computational Linguistics you work in, this is your opportunity to raise the profile of research in your area. The time you invest in the ACL Wiki will have high returns for the community.

The mandate of the wiki is ''to facilitate the sharing of information on all aspects of Computational Linguistics.''

The following table summarizes the growth of the wiki. The number of page views has increased each year. The yearly number of page edits has been constant, with a shift from the creation of new pages to the refinement and expansion of existing pages. Current [http://aclweb.org/aclwiki/index.php?title=Special:Statistics statistics] are available online on the Wiki.

The wiki hosts two Community Portals, the [http://aclweb.org/aclwiki/index.php?title=Natural_Language_Generation_Portal Natural Language Generation Portal] and the [http://aclweb.org/aclwiki/index.php?title=Textual_Entailment_Portal Textual Entailment Portal]. Both portals contain a wealth of useful information for researchers in these communities. Community Portals are an excellent tool for supporting a community of researchers who share a common interest in a specific problem.

The Workshop on Computational Approaches to Linguistic Creativity has now used the ACL Wiki as its home page for two years, [http://aclweb.org/aclwiki/index.php?title=CALC-09 CALC-09] and [http://aclweb.org/aclwiki/index.php?title=CALC-10 CALC-10]. Other workshops and conferences may also find it convenient to use the ACL Wiki to host their pages. The advantages include easy setup, easy editing, stability, archiving, and a recognized and respected URL.

There are many interesting and useful pages in the ACL Wiki, covering a wide range of material, which makes it difficult to summarize the wiki. A good starting point for exploration might be the [http://aclweb.org/aclwiki/index.php?title=List_of_resources_by_language List of resources by language], which covers more than 50 different languages. Another useful resource is the [http://aclweb.org/aclwiki/index.php?title=List_of_NLP/CL_courses List of NLP/CL courses].

Spammers occasionally insert spam links in the ACL Wiki, but the [http://www.bad-behavior.ioerror.us/ Bad Behavior] software package automatically blocks most link spam. Manual intervention is only required sporadically.

All members of ACL are strongly encouraged to contribute to the ACL Wiki. Whatever subfield of Computational Linguistics you work in, this is your opportunity to raise the profile of research in your area. The time you invest in the ACL Wiki will have high returns for the community.
