Connections

• CS internship page - this is a page which anyone at Brandeis can edit or view containing information about internship opportunities. If you are in the Brandeis CS community, please help build this site. Once it starts to get too big we'll switch to a database-backed site, but for now a wiki-like site should do.

Software

• CollabEd an open-source collaborative infrastructure component that has allowed us to collaboratize Eclipse, JEdit, NetBeans, JES, and other single user text editors and IDES. (This extends earlier work with GrewpEdit and groupscheme)
• JScheme -- an open-source implementation of Scheme in Java
• interval.sourceforge.net -- open-source interval arithmetic libraries in C, Java, Prolog, Scheme
• www.4collegewomen.org - a College Women's Health website (implemented in JScheme)
