	'''~~ADDITIONS~~ OVER LAST 12 MONTHS''': As promised, we have finished the ingestion of IJCNLP 2005 and 2008 and have incorporated the listing of LREC 2008 papers. We have also worked with ACL conference organizers to list the conference and associated workshop papers on the dates of the conference. Similarly, CL journal issues are usually listed and anthologized within 48 hours of release from the MIT Press website.

			We have also been very busy making sure the coverage of DBLP and ACM Portal cover the Anthology materials more authoritatively. We have sent updates to both providers, in their required ingestion format, listing 100+ events that need to be updated. This corresponds to over several thousand papers that were not listed by one or both databases. This should help your citation counts and coverages. However, we cannot guarantee whether or when these updates will take effect -- this is conditional on the corresponding target database's policy and schedule.

	'''MAILING LIST''': The Anthology mailing list's (http://groups.google.com/group/acl-anthology) membership pool has grown, now consisting of 176 members (up from 94 from last report). This is an announcement-only list, where we notify members of newly listed released materials online.

	The ACL Anthology is a digital archive of research papers in computational linguistics, sponsored by the CL community, and freely available to all. It includes the Computational Linguistics journal, and proceedings of many conferences and workshops including: ACL, EACL, NAACL, ANLP, TINLAP, COLING, HLT, MUC, and Tipster. Conference proceedings are published in the anthology around the same time as the conference. CL articles are published in the anthology roughly one year in arrears (but individual subscribers can access recent issues electronically via the MIT Press website).

	'''RELATED WORK''': Min is also working on creating an LDC release of the ACL Anthology Reference Corpus, which is a separate project, sanctioned earlier by the ACL. This project will incorporate OCR dumped text for all pages in the reference corpus (a subset of all articles up to 2006) and PNG images for each page in the corpus. This work should be ready by the end of the year.

	'''FOR DISCUSSION''':		'''FOR DISCUSSION''':

			* The mission of the Anthology is eternally up for debate. I have tried to lean less heavy on editorializing, and rather concentrate on providing more content -- whatever its quality -- to the ACL Anthology audience, as long as it is related to CL/NLP and cleared to list by the appropriate authorities. A problem arises when we need to decide whether to ingest new materials (for example, literature not in English, or only peripherally related to CL/NLP). Currently, we implement a permissive policy on this aspect.
			* One aspect where this comes up is in listing venues on the front page. While the vast majority of users may never use the front page (but get to the Anthology's details from search engines), currently we list ACL events at the top and other venues in a separate space. While fair and consistent, this marginalizes ACL events that are mainly sponsored by SIGs (notably EMNLP, SemEval, CoNLL) as they are relegated to the pages for SIGs. Would we want to change this policy and if so, what policy should be implemented?
