QOTW:
The rule for canonicity can most conveniently be tried
out by using
the [list] operation on "chemically active"
individual items (i.e.
things containing $[] or unbalanced "{}).
Basically any dangerous
compound is protected by {} or when [list]ified and
converted back
to string. Alexandre Ferrieux on c.l.t

In September 2007 the U.S. Tcl conference returns to the
historic
French Quarter of the city of New Orleans. Join us for
what promises
to be the best Tcl conference yet. Even better,
contribute a
paper, be prepared to talk about a work in progress, or
join in on
the lively "Birds of a Feather" discussions
that may range in topic
anywhere from "Using the Tile widget set" to
"Obsolete weaponry."
Tcl 2007 will be held at the Bourbon Orleans Hotel
in New Orleans, LA. Tutorial sessions on various
topics will be held September 24-25, with the conference
itself
running from September 26-28.

Thanks to Arjen Markus for his weekly reports on the Wikis:
Now that the Wiki is back, there is lots of activity.
So, let us hightlight a few pages!
Showing a picture
- ... of satellite orbits. Yes, <http://wiki.tcl.tk/17570
> describes
SaVi, a system to simulate the orbit of satellites
around the earth,
complete with maps and such.
- ... and adding hyperlinks? Find a discussion of a few
flavours
to do this on <http://wiki.tcl.tk/18003
>
Of files and things
- Wrapping the various file I/O commands into one
object-oriented
interface. It is easy enough: <http://wiki.tcl.tk/13246
>
- Still, adding a new subcommand to an existing one is
made very
easy too, now that Tcl 8.5 handles ensembles of commands
-
<http://wiki.tcl.tk/18001
>
People things
- Converting numbers to almost any other writing system in
existence:
<http://wiki.tcl.tk/18021
>
- Beyond merely making sound: synthesize speech -
<http://wiki.tcl.tk/11785

- Daemons as a UNIX programmer understands them and
Windows services
as a Windows programmer understands ... <http://wiki.tcl.tk/2224&g
t;
discusses mainly the first.
- Early-morning thoughts captured in a Wiki page ... What
can we add
to the Wiki? <http://wiki.tcl.tk/17991

- Looking for reading material? Here is a vast collection
of articles
with an easy-to-remember page number: <http://wiki.tcl.tk/18000
