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:

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

needs to validate many of the links).
