Email: [mailto:Christophe.Muller@removethat.research.gemplus.com] ---- '''News''' [jcw] has moved wikit enhancements ideas to the [Ideas for Wikit enhancements] page. Now that I have some more time, I am starting to classify them and see how some can be integrated in the current version. More to come soon... ---- The following sections describe 1) why I love TCL :-) and 2) the pages where to go in case you are interested in the development of wikit, the Tcl'ers wiki engine. ---- '''Why Tcl?''' Hello, I have been working with TCL since 1993, mostly for developing at Simulog [http://www.simulog.fr/], the GUI of a simulation environment named "Open Modline" (and latter OML). It was included tools such as an "Experimenter" [http://tekweb.idi.ntnu.no/pvl/modline/03_experimenter.htmlreport/node6_ct.html], an "Analyzer" [http://tekweb.idi.ntnu.no/pvl/modline/04_analyzer.htmlreport/node6_ct.html], and a "Reporter" [http://tekweb.idi.ntnu.no/pvl/modline/05_reporter.htmlreport/node5_ct.html]. I also used the Tcl format as a Data Interchange Format between the Qnap2 simulation engine and all the tools [http://tekweb.idi.ntnu.no/pvl/modline/06_reference.htmlreport/node11_ct.html]. Today, I'm still a big fan of Tcl, even if Java has become more important in my new job at Gemplus [http://www.gemplus.com/], a Smart Cards [http://www.scdk.com/atsfaq.htm] manufacturer. I have been working on a Java framework for using Smart Cards named OpenCard Framework (OCF), see the web site I have set-up for more details: http://www.gemplus.fr/developers/technologies/opencard/ and the official OCF site: http://www.opencard.org/ . During three years, I have also been involved in OCF consortium technical committee and have specified its process for work with the help of Gary Ellison, from Sun (see http://www.opencard.org/work/ ). My interests are detailed (not very much) in my Advogato ''Personal info'' page: http://advogato.org/person/cmuller/ Now that I am working in a new project, I am back to using Tcl because I have set up an internal wiki for the project. I started from [Jean-Claude Wippler]'s very good [Wikit] tool, written in Tcl and using his [MetaKit] database, and I have made a couple of changes. This is why I love Tcl actually, it's the language where you can take any piece of code written by anybody else and understand and modify it, I was already doing that 15 years ago and it still works! For me Tcl is '''the''' "Open Source" language, just try to do that with C++! ---- '''BTW, feel free to modify this page at will, it is a work in progress...''' Of course! ---- '''Wikit Development''' This section was devoted to the project of enhancing the [Wikit] engine. Now most contents has been moved [http://www.equi4.com/wikit/67] in a wiki that [JCW] has created and which is dedicated to wikit enhancements. I haven't had much time to work on this and merge my previous patches in the new sources tree, but I promise to find some time before the holidays! :-). ''Wikit Development Links'' In case you are intersted in wikit development, see these links: 1. The TclersWiki Yahoo Group and mailing-list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TclersWiki 2. The new wiki devoted to wikit and especially its [[Wikit Development]] page: http://www.equi4.com/wikit/38 3. My page in this new wiki: http://www.equi4.com/wikit/67 includes the ideas of development and their status. 4. Use of the New wiki and CVS access: JC has been posting the comments below. I leave them here because they contain help on how to get access to the new wikit and also CVS access. [JCW] Ok. I have started to consolidate things. For now (pressed for time, leaving for a long weekend), I've brought it in line with Steve Landers' local mode embellishments (try it!). Still need to add a substantial amount of reshuffling and badly needed comments by AK, but I just won't have time to do it now. Here goes, the latest "nwikit" (which I'm calling "wikit" again, btw): * to just try it, download and run from this temp spot [http://www.equi4.com/wikit/wikit.bin] tclkit wikit.bin (or chmod, mv, and run as "wikit") * to track CVS: cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@equi4.com:/home/cvs login (empty pw) cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@equi4.com:/home/cvs co wikit * to check sources and diffs through the web interface: http://www.equi4.com/metakit/viewcvs.cgi/wikit/ * to run in unpacked mode: tclkit wikit/bin/main.tcl * to pack it into a wikit.bin scripted doc: ln -s wikit wikit.vfs (or "mv wikit wikit.vfs") sdx fs2sd wikit.bin I'll tidy up and finish this work next week. Promise! ---- [[ [Category Home page] | [Category Tcler's Wiki] | [Category Person] ]]
