I'm a researcher in an Italian university and my main
field of interest are bio-electric signals.
I started to use Tcl/Tk as a tool language for various
tasks required by the system management in our lab.

I'm actively developing [Rivet]. Apache Rivet is an open source collection of Tcl tools working together
with mod_rivet, a module that enables the Apache HTTP web server to run Tcl code either standalone or embedded in 
HTML pages. Rivet current version is 3.0.1, available for download from the http://tcl.apache.org/rivet/%|%Apache Tcl Project%|%.

In the past I wrote quite a few large applications based on 
Tcl/Itcl for various purposes (chiefly applications aimed
at integrating devices such as PLCs)

More recently I wrote with Tcl and Apache Rivet a
http://sourceforge.net/projects/rivetweb/%|%simple website framework%|% 
for one my teaching classes. It started as a framework to be used by my students
to develop a website's contents writing plain text XML pages using an easy to learn template.

Later on this framework became a more complex framework based on Tcl plugin 
handlers that can be written separately for different sources of data 
(DBMS, Web services etc) and different formats/protocols (JSON, simple text...)
In one of the greatest feat of imagination ever the project was called 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/rivetweb/%|%Rivetweb%|%, Examples are 

   * a website about http://biodiversita.biol.unipr.it/%|%Biodiversity%|% (in Italian)
   * http://tcl.apache.org/rivet/%|%Rivet%|% website 
   * the website for a http://masterfauna.biol.unipr.it%|%Master in Wildlife management%|% (in Italian)
   * The project http://www.lifebarbie.eu/%|%Life Barbie%|%, an EU Funded project concerning the defense and reintroduction of the native http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbel_%28fish%29%|%Barbel%|% in Northern Italy
   * The web site for the http://schools.centromajorana.it/%|%Workshops of the International School of Neuroscience and International School of Ethology%|% hosted at the the 'Ettore Majorana Foundation and Centre for Scientific Culture'
