Subject: README: Tcl-URL! - the weekly guide to Tcl resources (Aug 9)
Date: Mon, 9 Aug 1999 22:18:34 -0400

Sometimes it is easy to forget that the success of Tcl has been
built upon the contributions of hundreds of individuals, so this
week I would like to highlight three individuals who continue to
make a noticeable contribution to our online Community and
to the continued success of Tcl.

    Congratulations are in order for Bryan Oakley, who is moving to
    work for Vignette, who ship StoryServer - a successful web-based
    product based upon Tcl-Tk. Good luck!

    Something strange and unexpected, but wholly welcome happened
    this week - status reports on open bugs submitted to Scriptics
    started to fill up peoples mailboxes. This was the first, but I'm sure
    not the last, effect of Jeff Hobbs joining Scriptics and helping to
    strengthen its ongoing commitment to the Tcl Community.

    Congratulations to Brent Welch for the favorable attention he
    brought to the Tcl Web Server in September 1999 issue of
    *Performance Computing*. See Kevin Reichard's column,
    "Web Advisor", for details. For the Tcl Web Server to be mentioned
    side-by-side with Netscape's powerhouse is a great tribute to Brent
    and all the people who have contributed to its evolution over the years.

    Call for Papers : Tcl2K Conference (deadline Sep 1 99).
    Please give serious consideration to contributing a paper - it is
    a great opportunity to not only share ideas but meet people who
    share a common interest.
