NoGenLib / Make a community list of NLP tools, algorithms, subroutines

[Cortexelus]

A new hacker arrives at NaNoGenMo. "What shall I make?" she asks. She looks through old examples, gets inspired by a few. She explores their sources, studies the undocumented spaghetti code, borrows useful subroutines. "Oh this one pulls from eHow; oh this one turns JSON into LaTeX; oh this one improves phonetic quality of text while preserving meaning." She figures out how to fuse them together into a process, and creates something new and awesome of which nobody before imagined.

But wouldn't it be great if there were already a list of these useful bits somewhere, documented? It would be easier to think of new ideas, new permutations of processes. If we consolidated our little innovations, it would support generative novel writing as a whole.

• This could be a community list of useful bits (repos, tools, subroutines, tutorials).
  • easy to maintain
  • wide scope
  • serves purpose
• This could also be a list of repos which have simple examples of combining useful bits for Novel Generation
  • medium-easy to maintain
  • easy for the programmer to start
  • narrow scopes
• This could be a monolithic Library: a (python/etc) repo which accepts pull requests
  • harder to maintain
  • better quality
  • medium scope
  • easier for programmer to start
  • easier for programmer to integrate things together

that'd be great.

This could be a community list a repos, tools, subroutines, tutorials
(easy to maintain, wide scope, serves purpose)
This could be a Library: a (python/etc) repo which accepts pull requests
(harder to maintain, better quality, medium scope, easier for programmer to start, easier for programmer to integrate things together)
This could be a list of tools + a list of simple example repos
(medium-easy to maintain, easy for the programmer to start, narrow scopes)

That'd be a great resource in general. The Resources issues on the
NANoGenMo repos could be a starting point.

A library would be neat, but given the wide scope of languages that get
used every year it isn't as widely applicable as the other two options. On
the other hand, a language agnostic community repo with both lists,
snippets, and tools could be handy.
