    Is any Tcl work more important to newcomers than David Welton's
    tutorial?

    Tcl luminary Jean-Claude Wippler's "Ratcl is a completely new development
    which implements Relational Algebra ... to provide new persistence
    solutions for scripting languages.  . . .  [K]eep in mind that they syntax
    ... has already evolved ..." beyond what appears in the EuroTcl paper
    below.

    As most weeks this season, Khaled admirably summarizes a few aspects
    of Expect--regular expression matching, in this case.

    The masses have clamored for a MacOS ActiveTcl for years.  Now that
    it's here, is it a good thing?

    Melissa Schrumpf carefully explains how Tcl and awk achieve some of
    the same effects with different means.

Thanks to Arjen Markus for his report from the Wiki(s):
  Games, graphics and profound discussions and thoughts: Let
  the summary begin! 
  
  Games:
  - You can take a prototype and expand it - for the benefit
    of your own skills or for the pleasure of improving an
    existing game - <http://wiki.tcl.tk/14290>  to play
    "Lotto"
  
  - Want to solve number puzzles? Sudoku can now be played
    on an iPaq too - <http://wiki.tcl.tk/13272> 
  
  - You chronicler is not sure whether this is a game
    or something else. The picture looks intriguing though:
    <http://wiki.tcl.tk/6559> 
  
  Graphics and other (technical) stuff:
  - OpenGL receives a lot of attention on this page
    <http://wiki.tcl.tk/2237>  and perhaps you may 
    want to inspect Tkogl at <http://wiki.tcl.tk/14302> 
  
  - Automating the use of Open Office via Tcl and tcom:
    Read this French page at <http://wfr.tcl.tk/963> 
  
  - Just a toy: your humble chronicler had fun with maths
    (group theory): <http://wiki.tcl.tk/14285> 
  
  - The Fifth EuroTcl meeting had three talks on the
    Tile extension - have a look via <http://wiki.tcl.tk/10647> 
  
  - How useful is aspect-oriented programming in the context
    of Tcl? Contribute to <http://wiki.tcl.tk/12067>  if you like
  
  Parsing (a sort of special):
  - For some parsing tasks regular expressions are just not
    powerful enough ... <http://wiki.tcl.tk/4164> 
  
  - But perhaps combining parsers can help solve a few
    more parsing problems ... <http://wiki.tcl.tk/14295>
