Quote of the week:

"What happened to the Wiki?!!!!!"
    -- many

    Note: The Tcl'ers wiki (http://purl.org/thecliff/tcl/wiki/)
    "crashed" this week, leaving many of us with severe withdrawal
    pains. It appears that it is back up now. Thank you, Jean-Claude
    Wippler, for making this a priority DURING your holiday, to the
    extent of buying new hardware, ...

A pat on the back to comp.lang.tcl (Thanks, PJ!):

"There is an incredible amount of knowledge to be gained in this
newsgroup and I was always extremely pleased with the quality of answers
and especially the speed at which most questions were answered. I wish
all of you the best of luck in the future and thanks again for the help."

    Is linear algebra your cup o' tea? If so, Ed Hume's recently
    announced linear algebra package 'la 1.0' might be of interest:

    Michael Kraus has been busy updating some of his popular packages
    (mkWidgets 1.3 and mkGeneric 1.3) as well as giving us some new
    ones (mkHttpd 1.0, mkTulip 1.0, mkZiplib 1.0):

    Another extension update, this time for Csaba Nemethi's multicolumn
    listbox 'Tablelist 1.4' (not to be confused with Bryan Oakley's
    multicolumn listbox which hasn't been updated in ages...). If you
    need a way to display columnar information and TkTable is more than
    you need, check it out:
        http://groups.google.com/groups?ic=1&th=c430f175420add36,1

    From the "what you don't know can't hurt you" dept comes a
    discussion on why [clock clicks] may return negative numbers, and
    why that's not a big deal:

   Interested in using a tcl-based installer for your tcl based
   applications or extensions? "The Tcl Installer Mileau" makes for
   an interesting read...
