Thanks to Arjen Markus for his weekly summary of Wiki action:
  We are well into spring time on the Northern hemisphere and
  creativitiy on the Wiki is high again - no time to linger!
  
  Tcl ins and outs
  - A port of Tcl to VxWorks, not a trivial step:
    <http://wiki.tcl.tk/21062>
  
  - Incr Tcl has existed for a long time now and so has this page
    on persistent objects created with Incr Tcl. Why not pay it
    a visit - <http://wiki.tcl.tk/3844>
  
  - Traces are one of those wonderful things in Tcl that you 
    can use for many purposes. One is tracing what on earth your
    programming is doing - <http://wiki.tcl.tk/21071>
  
  GUI bits and pieces
  - This program is a nice interface to SQLite databases. Now in
    its 1.0 version: <http://wiki.tcl.tk/19751> - a lot of attention
    has been paid to the graphical details.
  
  - Yet another widget that deal with measuring ... a vertical
    meter type - <http://wiki.tcl.tk/16994>
  
  - Don't forget to look at this month's 3D demo: <http://wiki.tcl.tk/17771>
  
  Game, set, match
  - Lost in a maze? They can be solved automatically, you know:
    <http://wiki.tcl.tk/21067>
  
  - Keeping track of the best scores in a game - a package that has
    been sorely missed up to now: <http://wiki.tcl.tk/21059>
  
  - ... and used in an improved version of the Robots game:
    <http://wiki.tcl.tk/21060>
   

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://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:

    For the ideal overview of the topics about Tcl most likely to
    interest a newcomer, see "Arts and Crafts ..."

    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.

    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.  In the
meantime, an alternative is
