QOTW:  "... I conclude that, apart from the memory required for
those coroutines, there's no impact on performance of having many
coroutines." - Donal K. Fellows


    I know how PaleTurquoise3 looks to *me*; how does it look to
    *you*?

    twapi supports enumerated types--*if* you rev past 3.0:

    It feels good to have the latest sources; should FTP be the
    vehicle?

    1.4.1 of Web Services for Tcl, among other benefits, now
    sensibly handles repeated import of an XSD, and HREFs in
    array items:

Thanks to Arjen Markus for his mostly-weekly Wiki reports:
  It is that time again - the approach of "Google's Summer of Code"
  means a whole slew of pages devoted to new project ideas. But apart
  from that, there is more!
  - One of the zillion projects queuing up for that summer event is
    an ehancement of the 3Dcanvas extension - <http://wiki.tcl.tk/28123>
    If you have your own idea, then please use the template at
    <http://wiki.tcl.tk/28113> to set up a page.
  
  - With Tcl/Tk moving to the fossil source code control system, you want
    to sharpen your fossil skills - <http://wiki.tcl.tk/28126>
  
  - Tcl is flexible enough and easy enough to implement to show up in an
    Internet browser ... <http://wiki.tcl.tk/20339> implements Tcl in
    JavaScript.
  
  - Sometimes things can and probably should be simple. If you have a
    favourite set of songs, put them together and with just a few lines
    you have your jukebox. No need for a fancy GUI - <http://wiki.tcl.tk/28128>
  
  - Configuring embedded Linux devices looks like a jiffy with Mikroconf.
    As your Wiki chronicler has no actual experience with them, he just
    passes on the message: <http://wiki.tcl.tk/25912>
  
  - Interspersed in all the summer project pages you will find quite a few
    gems that will make life on the Mac (OSX) even easier ...
    <http://wiki.tcl.tk/28117> is just one of them
  
  - And this classic should not be forgotten: 8 queens on a chessboard -
    and they should be safe from each other. <http://wiki.tcl.tk/24559>
    offers several programs to solve the puzzle. The one more minimal
    than the other.


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

    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

    "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://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
