QOTW: "[M]egawidgets are harder than they look; getting focus handling right
is usually the prime problem." - Donal K. Fellows


Thanks to Arjen Markus for his weekly summary of Wiki activity:
As you may noted, it is now even simpler to create a new page on the Wiki:
just press the link "Create new page". That said, here is the summary!

Symbolism
- Fed up with the verbosity of mathematical mark-up languages like
MathML? Here is an alternative - <http://wiki.tcl.tk/25681>

- Extract the documentation of your program from your source files.
Just a bit of mark-up is required - <http://wiki.tcl.tk/25378>

- While most if not all western languages are written from left to
right, that is just a conventional choice. Chinese can be written
in several ways. From top to bottom for instance:
<http://wiki.tcl.tk/25658>

More mark-up stuff
- The never-ending story about parsing HTML and XML ... the
answer is simple: simple stuff can be done in a simple way.
But not everything is simple. For the first category, do have
a look at <http://wiki.tcl.tk/14517>

- From scalable vector graphics to the good old canvas and back:
these Wiki pages lead the way: <http://wiki.tcl.tk/2893>
discusses SVG and <http://wiki.tcl.tk/25690> and
<http://wiki.tcl.tk/4940> implement the link.

More imaging
- Wave forms - analyse and measure! Here is a nice tool to
do so: <http://wiki.tcl.tk/25693>

- Scale your image up or down, no problem with this piece of
C code - <http://wiki.tcl.tk/25685>

Use it if you can
- Running computations on a graphical processor unit has become
a popular pastime. It can actually be useful:
<http://wiki.tcl.tk/25442>

- Block selection in the text widget? Yes! <http://wiki.tcl.tk/15471>

- Connect or disconnect your network drives in a jiffy. A mere
Tcl script away as shown here: <http://wiki.tcl.tk/15058>


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/

Tcl Developer Xchange sponsor, ActiveState, 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.
