Announcement guidelines for comp.lang.tcl?
Synic
I was just looking through the announcements and was wondering what the
current guidelines are/should be.
Do people want to hear about software for Tcl only or is there general
interest in seeing what people have done with Tcl recently?
Does it make a difference if the software is GNU or BSD or commercially
licenced?
Cheers.

It needs to be Tcl "related"...

That's monosyllabic. :-) While we are naturally particularly interested
in software that either enhances Tcl or which exposes a Tcl interface,
if you want to tell us about some software written in Tcl that is cool
too. Especially if you also say what aspects of Tcl helped (or
hindered) the software get to its current state.[*]
Use your good taste and judgement, of course, but we're always keen on
learning what cool Tcl-ish things other people are up to. :-)

for an "experiences" paper at a Tcl conference. ]

cross-linked, and have a better visibility than on a shifting
newsgroup.
If the code is sufficiently short (say < 500 LOC), putting it directly
there is also an option.
