A thread nominally on Bluetooth communications has much for all of
us: debugging techniques, serial-line peculiarities, industrial
practice, and more:

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.

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
