I occasionally throw up bits and pieces here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/libtclpq/

• I have a tendency to ask ''is there any compelling reason that X doesn't use Y?' where Y is often comm ... I just like minimalism, I guess.

Musings:

• scope - on scope in tcl
• Object vs. Megawidget
• webpaste for jabber
• named parameters
• Tcl is Hard! Now get off my lawn!
• Incomplete Recursion
• Things which might speed this Wiki up

Wild Ideas:

• Tcl Canon and Fugue
• The ability to taint allocation blocks, its possible uses.
• Tcl over Python a different Python parser to make it look like tcl, and can you tell the difference?
• post-Euclidean Tcl
• Tcl Skins

Suggestions: (I'm full of 'em)

• Tclhttpd Needs
• VFS Needs
• What's Cool
• Replace Eggdrop

Controversies/Rants:

• what is a Project Release? What is it for? Stu and I have been robustly exchanging views on the subject, and I thought I'd jump in to misrepresent his views in that page.
• Imagine a language ... unexpected side-effects of tcl's virtues.
• Careful what you wish for regarding the downside of popularity.
• Tool Protocol Language - don't use XML, JSON, FCGI, CGI, SCGI, other crappy and/or proprietary interprocess protocols. Use tcl.

Firsts: first mention of 'badger' on the Wiki ... damn, not even close.

AMG: You're the first to use the word "blunge" [L4 ].
