QOTW:  "[A]s far as I can see, the foment about cvs, and the perfect cvs, is
all about geeks striving to use technology to avoid having to interact with
humans." - Colin McCormack

    Mats Bengtsston passed away:

    Googie and I think TileQt's prospects suddenly brightened dramatically:

    TKproE 2.0 supports 8.5 and themed widgets:

Thanks to Arjen Markus for his (mostly) weekly summary of Wiki action:
  The new year is in full progress - and so is the Wiki.

  Text things
  - Here are the foundations for a text widget that lets you easily
    set font attributes and the like: <http://wiki.tcl.tk/5460>

  - Or what about picking the colours for displaying text with
    the care that deserves? <http://wiki.tcl.tk/22218>

  - And when you have the text, you may want to put it in a
    PDF-file. So here is <http://wiki.tcl.tk/13449>

  Network things
  - Need to retrieve information about things on your network?
    Perhaps <http://wiki.tcl.tk/17493> can help

  - Noblesse oblige: using coroutines for networking at
    <http://wiki.tcl.tk/22231>

  Last but not least
  - Manage your images by a tag, not by file name -
    <http://wiki.tcl.tk/22208>

  - Strings are not the only data structure to hold pieces of
    text ... "Ropes" are at least an interesting alternative
    - <http://wiki.tcl.tk/20690>

  - The French Tclers have a tradition of posting games in the
    French newsgroup on Tcl - <http://wfr.tcl.tk/1710>

  - And another worthy tradition they have is the yearly Youpi
    award - even if you don't read French, you'll understand it:
    <http://wfr.tcl.tk/1705>

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...
