<ul><li><b>What are you building:</b> Basically, this is a fun way to explore the reasons the New York Times has given for granting anonymity. We're building a method for consuming all articles published in the New York Times that contain statements from anonymous sources, a website to display the reasons the source was given anonymity ("because clause"), the snippet in which that clause appears, the description of the source, and the information provided by source. The corpus is all NYT articles since January 1, 2000 that contain the phrase, "condition of anonymity" or "anonymity because". We're also streaming all new articles containing those phrases and streaming the clauses to Twitter [https://twitter.com/#!/conditionof @conditionof] , along with links to the full snippet on our site.  
<ul><li><b>What are you building:</b> Basically, this is a fun way to explore the reasons the New York Times has given for granting anonymity. We've got a method for consuming all articles published in the New York Times that contain statements from anonymous sources, a website to display the reasons the source was given anonymity ("because clause"), and a Twitter account  [https://twitter.com/#!/conditionof @conditionof] to stream new articles through time. The corpus is all NYT articles since January 1, 2000 that contain the phrase, "condition of anonymity" or "anonymity because". Users can click on any word in any because clause and see a chronological list of every because clase that contains that word.

</li></ul>
<ul><li><b>Your goal for this weekend:</b> Pull the relevant articles (done), analyze text (nearly done), publish the processed text (with snippet, description of source, anonymity reason, and information provided by source) in some fashion. Later: organize this data into an interface that allows users to provide guesses on the source and stream the because clauses on Twitter.
