Quotes of the week:
    Jeff Hobbs: There are loads of Perl people with time to waste, and
    without real corporate pick-up, the Python programmers have plenty of
    time on their hands as well to write articles and the like.  Tcl
    programmers are often so busy actually getting stuff done, they don't
    have this pleasure...

    Morten Skaarup Jensen: The feather logo gives me a picture of someone
    rapidly writing down a powerful Tcl-script.
