QOTW:  "... 'make social changes in code', the programmer's deepest
wish . . ." - Colin McCormack


    "The tkdock package is a small, Cocoa-based Tcl extension that allows a
    Tcl/Tk application to change its icon on the OS X Dock while running."

    EuroTcl '09!  Strasbourg, June--il n'y a rien meilleur.

    Tcl competes poorly with Ruby for Rails.  *Should* it
    compete with Ruby for Rails?

Thanks to Arjen Markus for his (mostly) weekly summary of Wiki action:
  A relatively quiet week at the Wiki - but there are always 
  new pages to read or old ones that were substantially 
  updated.
  
  - There is always interest in other programming languages 
    within the Tcl community. Here is a page on Lua:
    <http://wiki.tcl.tk/2255> with interesting connections
    to Tcl.
  
  - And a similar one on Ruby: <http://wiki.tcl.tk/1386>.
  
  - Wub - the software that runs the Wiki - is a heavy user
    of coroutines. That has as a consequence that you need
    Tcl 8.6 ... <http:/wiki.tcl.tk/15781>
  
  - But if you want to use the Wiki's contents without the
    need to go online, that is possible: <http://wiki.tcl.tk/20412>
  
  - gnocl as an alternative for Tk is available for 
    various platforms. Check out <http://wiki.tcl.tk/5151>
  
  - Despite the power of the [clock] command, sometimes it
    is necessary to write your own date/time conversion tool.
    But [clock] is still at the heart: <http://wiki.tcl.tk/22562>
  
  - Those eternal computer-generated passwords! Here is a
    tool that at least generates pronounceable ones that 
    stand a chance of sticking in your memory:
    <http://wiki.tcl.tk/22524>
  
  - Better priority queues? Possibly. Your Wiki chronicler
    is no expert, but read about them at <http://wiki.tcl.tk/22428>
  

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.lang.tcl

Suggestions/corrections for next week's posting are always welcome.
