Who is the ''i'' implied above?  How is this category related to [Category Deployment]?

[lv] distribution was, primarily in my mind, a category used to tag pages dealing with the various ways that tcl is currently available for someone - sort of the practical/user flipside of deployment.

''[escargo]'' - Does this mean the distribution of Tcl/Tk as a development environment (or
tools for the development of deployable applications)?

[lv] awell, dev envir or application infrastructure/framework...
joe wants to run [tkoutline] or whatever, and discovers he needs to ''install tcl'' first - he is no developer - just a user wanting to ''plug in the toaster''.
A binary distribution allows that to happen; on a new or peculiar platform,
more pain is ahead as a source dis. is needed.  in either case, this is NOT 
a developer situation....

''[escargo]'' - The more you say that this is so users can run applications, the more
this category sounds like a duplication of deployment.
[lv] certainly there is overlap - however - for most tcl apps, the deployment 
issues are solved by the statement 'go get a tcl distribution'.
this category ties the issues of building, locating, installing, etc a tcl
distribution.

but it's okay - feel free to tag the same pages with both categories.  my hands
hurt too much to continue today.
