[Richard Suchenwirth] 2006-01-29 - ''Sepp'' (in the usual Titlecase capitalization) stands for "Simple experimenting platform, pocket edition". 
(In southern Germany, Austria, Switzerland it is also a nickname for Josef). 
I've been coding on Sepp for some weeks now without having a name for it - now Sepp shall be it.

See [IDE: from cathedral to patchwork bazaar] for some historical notes. Sepp shall be my patchwork bazaar (and as usual, I'll be glad to share it here on the Wiki). A set of little components, just as I need them, that can be tested on a desktop, too, but designed for best usability on a [PocketPC] running [eTcl] - the reason is that this distribution first allows good [toplevel] alternation, and wide [menu]s. Most of the code should run on other [PocketPC] distros, or wherever.

Design principles (under construction :^):
   * Some components provide Tcl procs without UI, for use in the [console], or in other components
   * Others will do their job in a [toplevel], either transient ([destroy]ed on FocusOut) or longer-lived. None shall occupy the standard "." toplevel.
   * Components offer their services via [tclIndex]. "Exported" services come as [proc]s in ::, while internals are slightly hidden in a [namespace]
   * Services are made available by adding them to the console menu
   * [proc]s shall be no longer than 20 lines, lines no longer than ~40 characters, for convenient editing on the little thing itself

Here's a snapshot of the Sepp script on 2006-02-06 - basically just plugging in plug-ins:
