Version 10 of Tcl/Tk Office project anyone?

Updated 2008-11-04 18:43:10 by LV

Over the past year or so I have been thinking about what it would take to make a mostly pure Tcl/Tk Office type system. To me it makes sense to have one, due to Tcl being portable on so many fronts. It would be nice to have a full Tickle package where all applications can talk to, embed and link to each other.

This wiki item is just an idea generator and thought process recorder.

Here is what I see in a full office type system, and possible code candidates/donators. Please add your ideas and comments below.

Note – The GUI should use Tile as much as possible.

Drawing and Presentation starter candidates

  • TkPaint: [L1 ]
  • Impress: [L2 ]

  • ASED: [L3 ]

 Data base candidates –
 PgAccess: [http://wiki.tcl.tk/7171] - have it Ported to use Sqlite for the “native” db and 
                                       ODBC (via snodbc or TclOdbc) for other dbms.
