The question has been '''very''' frequently raised for at least the
last ten years.

Maybe there ''is'' such an archive--several, in fact ... [[explain]].

[[Explain history of unappreciated efforts.]]

[[Explain pertinence of [Stubs] as historical explanation.]]

[[Explain what [teapot] is about.]]

[A tcl repository]

[LV] Such an archive doesn't arise in a vacuum. It requires the work of
the community, both from the creation point of view, on-going running, and
contributions from distributors.

As one reads through [comp.lang.tcl], as well as other web forums, wiki
pages, etc., one will see references to [TEAPOT], [CANTCL], [procplace],
[[add some of the other attempts here]].
Each time, either the community failed to rally behind
the effort, or the developer didn't have the time and resources necessary
to set up things to work so easily.

Now, a new effort, by [ActiveState], has begun called [TEAPOT].  It again is up to the community to do more than ask the questions-
people are going to need to:
   * step up and volunteer computer time and space for mirrors,
   * contribute time and resources to perform backups, domain names, editorial time, and more

[DKF]: Note that [teapot] is the activestate effort. It's still brewing though. :-)
