    "... AOLserver 4.5.1 ... is mostly a bug-fix and maintenance
    release, and offers enhanced functionality and scalability and
    improved documentation and portability. AOLserver compiles with
    Tcl 8.4.* and 8.5.*."

    Kevin Walzer offers cross-platform lightweight HTML viewing and
    drag-and-drop:

Thanks to Arjen Markus for his (mostly) weekly summary of Wiki action:
  Miss a week and the Wiki will have dozens of new pages! Or it
  was an especially productive time of the year. Anyway, no time
  to lose.

  Basic stuff
  - The half bakery may be not so well known as a repository
    on the Wiki, but it holds more than enough interesting
    stuff - <http://wiki.tcl.tk/21550>

  - The ultimate in documentation tools? The code - almost literally
    - is enough, thanks to introspection: <http://wiki.tcl.tk/22378>

  - Just a little helper, this script here. But that is its purpose
    in life: help with mounting a USB stick under Linux -
    <http://wiki.tcl.tk/22381>

  - Databases with Postgres? No problem, here is a driver (well,
    the page leads to various versions): <http://wiki.tcl.tk/22395>

  An algorithm or two
  - Filling in the gaps in a table, using mere interpolation:
    <http://wiki.tcl.tk/22385>

  - A picture can tell so much more than words - and a movie
    is a series of pictures! So, for an explanation of two
    graph algorithms, try <http://wiki.tcl.tk/22389> and
    <http://wiki.tcl.tk/22393>

  - Here is another classic, a geometrical one this time:
    Delaunay triangulation, fast and elegant:
    <http://wiki.tcl.tk/22370>

  Of pictures and movies
  - Viewing web pages: standalone or as a widget, just
    visit: <http://wiki.tcl.tk/22404>

  - A nice little experiment - but perhaps you need to
    remember those old photo cameras to appreciate the
    dazzling display: <http://wiki.tcl.tk/19737>

  - Do-it-yourself cartoons: still a lot of work, but
    who knows: <http://wiki.tcl.tk/22392>

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
        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.l...
