**Slurk** (think "slack for mechanical turk"...) is a lightweight and easily extensible chat server built especially
for conducting multimodal dialogue experiments or data collections. See :ref:`slurk_about` for a description of the
main concepts. Or jump right in with the :ref:`slurk_gettingstarted`!

Slurk is built in Python, on top of flask_ and flask-socketio_.

Happy slurking!
