[http://www.equi4.com/pub/om/pub/tclerswiki.png] ** Welcome to the Tcl community ** This page contains links to various people-related pages on this Wiki as well as some information on how to become a contributor or user. ** People & Community ** [Tcl'ers]: by name, find homepages for many who frequent these pages [Tcl User Groups]: [comp.lang.tcl]: [news:comp.lang.tcl.announce%|%comp.lang.tcl.announce%|%]: [Tcl at conferences, workshops, training classes, etc.]: [Tcl community projects]: [Your social contribution as a Tcl'er]: [How can the community help]: [Tcl chatroom]: Need help in a jiffy or just want to meet other Tcl'ers? [Tcl Core Team]: [I would like to meet a Tcler]: [They help tcl'ers to travel]: ** Community Ethos ** Like all communities The Tcl community has a certain personality. Some of the traits that have emerged, although of course not everyone agrees with each thing: '''We eat our own dog food''': as [hypnotoad] pointed out in the [Tcl Chatroom] on 2014-10-07, this is one of the central tenants of the Church of Tcl. Our chat client is Tcl, our webserver is Tcl, our [fossil%|%change management system] and [sqlite%|%favorite database] was written by a community member. For better or for worse, we eat our own dog food. ** Becoming a Tcler ** * No need to be a highly proficient programmer, it's sufficient to be convinced of your own inner genius. That is what is so great about Tcl! * You can become a Tcler by just learning the basics of the language, by learning a few things about Tk (for building graphical user-interfaces and doing graphical things in general) ** Contribute to the Tclers' Wiki ** * Almost anything Tcl-related can be added to the Wiki - even criticism, as long as you are honest about it. Sample code, documentation, examples, book reviews, pointers to new software - all these, and more, are welcome! * The syntax is very simple - see [Formatting Rules] * No need to register as a user - just start editing an existing page (more details: [Welcome visitors]) <> Community | TOC
