Athena is a simulation application written in TCL/TK; it models the actions of political, economic, and military actors in a 
war-torn region, and the effects of those actions on the local civilians.  It was developed at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory
by [WHD] (among others) and has now been open sourced under a BSD license. [http://github.com/AthenaModel]

In addition to the simulation code proper, the project includes a considerable amount of infrastructure code, much of which
has been presented by [WHD] at the Tcl Conference over the years. See especially the "marsutil" and "marsgui" packages 
in the http://github.com/AthenaModel/mars%|%mars%|% repository.

[aspect] is very excited to see this code put online!  Some nice examples of [snidgets] (and broader use of [snit]) in there that I'll immediately adopt (*cough* [tklib]), and the Dynaforms code I've been wanting to look at since seeing the video of your talk at [Twentieth Annual Tcl/Tk Conference (2013)].  Thanks Will and thanks JPL!
