RFD: comp.lang.tcl

[Karl Lehenbauer]

NAME: comp.lang.tcl

STATUS: unmoderated

CHARTER:

comp.lang.tcl will be a forum for the users of the Tcl
programming language, invented by Dr. John Ousterhout
of the University of California at Berkeley.

(A new release, Tcl version 6.0, is available by anonymous
FTP from sprite.berkeley.edu)

WHY:

There are currently two Tcl mailing lists comprising over 310 entries,
including numerous mailing list exploders, so the real total is
probably over 400.

With the new release of Tcl merging Tcl and Extended Tcl, and a forthcoming
new release of the Tk Tcl-based toolkit for X-windows, Tcl is attracting
ever-greater interest and gaining new users daily. Traffic on the mailing
lists is currently running at three to five messages per day.

With this number of entries, the mailing lists are becoming strained. Also,
Tcl will achieve a wider audience through a newsgroup.

Apologies for reposting this -- this first one wasn't crossposted to

Good idea! I'll vote yes.

Will "expect" discussions be welcome?
