Thanks to Arjen Markus for his weekly summary of Wiki activity:
  The conference in Portland is over already. But the Wiki contains information
  on what went on, including pictures, and where you can get the proceedings.
  Mind you: they are well worth it.
  
  People stuff
  - Want to know more about the conference? <http://wiki.tcl.tk/22634>  is
    the place to start.
  
  - You may want to contribute to those 97 things that we all should
    know ... <http://wiki.tcl.tk/24499> 
  
  - Curious about a Google Summer of Code project? Well, here are 
    details about the tcl-map project to bring GIS functionality 
    to Tcl (or vice versa). <http://wiki.tcl.tk/23477>  does 
    indicate some work remains to be done for distribution.
  
  - This page refers to an enhancement to the listbox, but its
    URLs are gone ... <http://wiki.tcl.tk/5265> . Any solution,
    anyone?
  
  System stuff
  - Here is a somewhat mysterious extension: SystemTcl - 
    <http://wiki.tcl.tk/24504> . Does anyone know anything about it?
  
  - It is easy to get information on network trafic and such. Try:
    <http://wiki.tcl.tk/17493> 
  
  - And (if your system tools allow it) here is a little front end
    for system usage: <http://wiki.tcl.tk/16946> 
  
  Design stuff
  - Tclers have collected all manner of little coding gems over 
    the years. Appropriately put together in this Wiki page:
    <http://wiki.tcl.tk/918> 
  
  - At the conference there were several presentations on object-
    oriented programming. This page might be a nice addendum:
    mixins and Snit widgets - <http://wiki.tcl.tk/14638> 
  
  - Less than trivial but once found easy enough: a solution
    to editing with different fonts in the text widget.
    <http://wiki.tcl.tk/24507> 
  
  - Travelling to the conference, your chronicler had to wait
    a lot in the air port ... This enhancement to Plotchart
    shows some of its internals, but is primarily meant to
    add a wind rose diagram to the gamma of presentations -
    <http://wiki.tcl.tk/24494> 
  
  - Tcl allows for all manner of programming paradigms. This one,
    data flow programming, has a few nice properties. A simple
    example is a spreadsheet, but you can do much more.

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".

    For the ideal overview of the topics about Tcl most likely to
    interest a newcomer, see "Arts and Crafts ..."

    There's also a high-quality Wikibook on Tcl:

    "La Gazette du Técleux" is an important monthly publication.

    deli.cio.us presents an intriguing approach to reference commentary.
    It already aggregates quite a bit of Tcl intelligence.

    Cameron Laird tracks several Tcl/Tk references of interest (but
    needs to validate many of the links).

    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
