My name is Igal Vigonich and this is my public page on this wiki. All are welcome!!!

So, why am I here? According to this wonderful wiki, which I just discovered, 15 years of using Tcl apparently make me a Tcl'er. And, after a lot of reading, I feel that I might have something to say and maybe even do. So here I am, in my first ever endeavor of this kind, to see how it goes.

PYK 2016-03-30: Greetings, Igal! How on Earth did you manage to use Tcl for 15 years before you discovered The Wiki?!

Thanks Nathan! As for your question, I guess I just was too busy.

More later...
