QOTW:  "Most of the Tcl community won't give you fish, especially large
ones, but we are more than willing to teach you how to fish." - George Peter
Staplin


    Ruff! generates documentation.  Woof! is a supple Web application
    framework.  They share ancestry:

    Gush is an intriguing alternative to, for example, tkcon:

Thanks to Arjen Markus for his (mostly) weekly summary of Wiki action:
  Just another month and then the eighth European Tcl/Tk Users Meeting
  will be held! And after the summer/winter season the 16th Tcl 
  Conference ... all information available via the Wiki of course.
  But now the rest.
  
  User-interfaces
  - A discussion on the text widget's undo facility: how to do it?
    <http://wiki.tcl.tk/23384> 
  
  - Is Windows Aero the ultimate thing wrt user-interface styles?
    Whatever you think of it, have a look at <http://wiki.tcl.tk/23385> 
    for those things Ttk does not yet support.
  
  - For those of us who need help to make a starpack, here is a helper
    program: <http://wiki.tcl.tk/23371>  guides you through the steps.
  
  Techniques
  - A detailed plan for to expand the struct module in Tcllib:
    graph manipulation will be taken to the next level this summer -
    <http://wiki.tcl.tk/23203> 
  
  - How about the speed of graphics in Tcl/Tk? This little program
    tests how many objects you can move around how fast. Watch the
    little men move about with <http://wiki.tcl.tk/23268> 
  
  - The humble beginnings of a framework for web applications, 
    not the first, perhaps, but it seems easy to use:
    <http://wiki.tcl.tk/22259> 
  
  The big picture
  - Viewing and manipulating large datasets - possible with this
    toolkit from NASA: <http://wiki.tcl.tk/23383> 
  
  - But perhaps you want a more ... global view? That is also
    provided for this week. Just have a look at <http://wiki.tcl.tk/23384> .
    The title is inconspicuous, but the screenshots tell an amazing
    story.
  

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/

    Tcl Developer Xchange sponsor, ActiveState, keeps info to 
    onvince 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
        http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Tcl

    "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.  Dave 
Williams generously is building up
    http://www.bacomatic.org/~dw/comp/tclurl/index.htm
and of course Google gives us
  http://groups.google.com/groups?oi=djq&as_q=+Tcl-URL&as_ugroup=comp.lang.tcl
