Lily is a computer mediated communication system developed at RPI.

For more information, see the lily home page, the lily documentation page, or the lily online documentation.

For some amusing lily-related quotes, see FeRD's reasons to use lily page.

Although it is mostly used by RPI students and alumni, it is open to anyone. Feel free to request an account on the RPI lily server by emailing lily-admin@rpi.edu

I've written or contributed to quite a bit of lily-related code:

• TigerLily, a complete lily client written in perl.
• compare-cores: reads in MOO database files and summarizes their differences.
• verb-utils: I rewrote much of this code, which is a set of utilities for downloading, uploading, and comparing verb code from lily servers. It includes a nice, simple OO server module for perl.
• clily: A C-based lily client. This was the original lily client. I didn't write it, but I did do most of the coordination of patches to get version 1.0 out the door. Garance took over the project after that, and has done a wonderful job of refining the client in subsequent versions.
• lily.irc: A script which makes ircII look like lily.
• update_help: A script which pulls down all of the help files from a lily server and puts them into html files. It's designed to be run fron cron. For the output, see here.
