We're pleased to announce the release of GroupKit 5.2,
an open source Tcl/Tk library that makes it easy to build
real-time collaborative applications (groupware), such as
multi-user drawing tools, editors, meeting tools and more.

This release, bringing the system inline with modern versions
of Tcl/Tk, marks the end of a rather extended break in GroupKit
development. As we begin exploring some exciting new directions
with the project, we're keen to bring in old and new developers
alike to actively participate and contribute.

For more information and downloads (now hosted on SourceForge),
please visit:

This is VERY cool indeed! I'm glad to see this package
resurrected. Brings back fond memories of my use of it
on an collaboration and visulaization IR&D I did back in
1999. There was no money to purchase any comercial
collaboration software, but GroupKit came to the rescue!

Thanks for bringing it back! :^)

Though I'd rather you have money to buy commercial
collaboration software, thanks. ;-)

Seriously, its nice to have it back, there's certainly a
few projects I've had on the back burner that would be great
to tackle now.. hope you'll have a chance to play around
again and contribute some stuff!

Cheers

This is really great news! Now I can finally integrate the
GroupKit-based code (http://netlab.gmu.edu/visembryo/annotators/Collab.html)
in our Internet2 project(http://netlab.gmu.edu/visembryo/index.html),
and use a Starkit to wrap and run the whole package!

In my windows' installation it can not find the Tcl.
The default directory is Tcl. Is it a C source code
or a Tcl script?

Is GroupKit a C extension or a Tcl one?
Both.

I don't know why it can't find your Tcl.
Are you able to probe deeper? Any fixes would
be appreciated.
