"If it's worth releasing, it's worth telling people it exists!" - Graeme

    A thread nominally on Bluetooth communications has much for all of
    us:  debugging techniques, serial-line peculiarities, industrial
    practice, and more:
        http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.tcl/browse_thread/thread/9f2...

    Even on Mac OS, "I can build and link C apps to Tk 8.5.5 ...":

Thanks to Arjen Markus for his weekly summary of Wiki action:
  Only a few weeks left of this year. So, let us use them
  efficiently! Here is the summary.

  Small is beautiful
  - With Tcl a language with only a small amount of
    syntax already can it be shrunk even further? Well,
    try: <http://wiki.tcl.tk/1363>

  - Design patterns are one of the current hypes. But
    perhaps the new kid on this block is even more
    useful? <http://wiki.tcl.tk/2339> and <http://wiki.tcl.tk/22051>

  The customer is always right
  - Digital clocks are one thing, getting them displayed transparently
    is another. Here is digital technology taken to the next level:
    <http://wiki.tcl.tk/22037>

  - Sorting using your own method ... it is known to be rather slow
    via [lsort -command]. But sometimes you can use a little trick:
    <http:/wiki.tcl.tk/4021>

  - Using the Amazon storage service is very simple, or at least
    <http://wiki.tcl.tk/17618> indicates it is.

  - If you have monitored the Tcl core mailing list, you will have
    lots of activity. A nice overview of the current status of Tcl 8.6
    is given at <http://wiki.tcl.tk/20966>

  - Tools for extracting documentation from the source, anyone?
    Check <http://wiki.tcl.tk/13009>!

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...

Suggestions/corrections for next week's posting are always welcome.
