It is less about coding and more doing research, with a report at the end. The reference section contains a link Mark's mail in the entirety. The project covers the first two points of his suggested path forward, and part of the third, namely the research in the Tcl/Tk community regarding our Widgets sets and widgets, without actually doing the coding necessary. (IMHO the research alone can cover the whole summer). To be clear, the project is to * Research and enumerate widgets and major features in the main GUI toolkits * Use the above to identify holes in Tk * Research and enumerate Tcl extensions providing widgets and widget sets and where they can be used to fill the identified holes. * Finding out where/if Tk plus extensions have widgets the other toolkits don't would be a plus. **References** * [http://code.activestate.com/lists/tcl-core/10165/%|%Mark's mail] <> **Comments & Discussion** <> <>GSoC
