QOTW:  "Tcl is most often just formalized common sense." - Richard
Suchenwirth

"[I]t's always shocking how simple [it] can be to do these little things
with Tcl." - antirez


Thanks to Arjen Markus for his weekly summary of Wiki action:
  While the Google summer of code is receiving quite a bit of attention,
  the world or, more correctly, your chronicler's part of it is beaten 
  by an unseasonal storm...
  
  Stuff from Tcllib
  - Parsing expression grammars is now explained in small steps at
    <http://wiki.tcl.tk/15512> 
  
  - As events add a lot of power to Tcl/Tk, ever wondered what events
    are available? Or how you can make your own? <http://wiki.tcl.tk/489> 
    has been around for a long while - check it out again.
  
  Stuff to think about
  - Ever wanted to change the syntax of Tcl? Well, if not, here are
    a bunch of ideas ... <http://wiki.tcl.tk/508> 
  
  - And when you are done with that page, you may want "constants" too
    - or enumerations - <http://wiki.tcl.tk/1308> 
  
  - Old ideas reused: the Eliza program has been around for a long time
    and in a graphical environment it looks ever so nice:
    <http://wiki.tcl.tk/9248> 
  
  Stuff to use
  - Uploading dozens of files in dozens of directories via FTP?
    Sure thing: <http://wiki.tcl.tk/15002> 
  
  - The French Wiki features a 3D graphical widget, available
    via the lightweight version of Tcl: <http://wfr.tcl.tk/1523> 


Everything Tcl-related you want is probably one or two clicks away in these
pages:
    The "Welcome to comp.lang.tcl" message by Andreas Kupries
        http://www.purl.org/net/tcl-welcome
    comp.lang.tcl is a crucial resource for Tcl practitioners.
    An interesting perspective on its traffic appears at
        http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.tcl/about

    The Tcl Developer Site is Tcl's "home base".
	http://www.tcl.tk

    Larry Virden maintains a comp.lang.tcl FAQ launcher.
        http://www.purl.org/NET/Tcl-FAQ/

    The Tcl Developer Xchange is a highly organized resource center
    of documents and software with provisions for individuals to
    maintain references to their own software:
        http://www.tcl.tk/resource/
    The TDX sponsor, ActiveState, also keeps info to convince your
    boss Tcl is a good thing
        http://www.tcl.tk/scripting/

    The Tcl'ers Wiki is a huge, dynamic, collaboratively edited repository
    of documentation, examples, tutorials and pontifications on all things 
    Tcl.
        http://wiki.tcl.tk/0
    For the ideal overview of the topics about Tcl most likely to
    interest a newcomer, see "Arts and Crafts ..."
        http://wiki.tcl.tk/969
    There's also a high-quality Wikibook on Tcl:
        http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Programming:Tcl

    ActiveState maintains binaries distribution and development tools
        http://www.activestate.com/Tcl
    along with a Cookbook of Tcl recipes

    "La Gazette du Técleux" is an important monthly publication.
	http://wfr.tcl.tk/1159

    deli.cio.us presents an intriguing approach to reference commentary.
    It already aggregates quite a bit of Tcl intelligence.
        http://del.icio.us/tag/tcl

    Cameron Laird tracks several Tcl/Tk references of interest (but
    needs to validate many of the links).
        http://phaseit.net/claird/comp.lang.tcl/

    Years ago, Cetus Links maintained a Tcl/Tk page with verified links
        http://www.cetus-links.org/oo_tcl_tk.html

    "Yahoo! Groups" archives comp.lang.tcl.announce posts--even 
    though clta itself is dormant.
        http://groups.yahoo.com/group/tcl_announce/

We're working on more useful archives of past installments.  In the
meantime, an alternative is
