LV I'm relatively certain that the Macintosh tcl newsgroup references are not to our own Tcl Command Language Tcl, but instead to a C/C++ product that was (is?) available on the Mac platform.
D. McC 4 March 2004 - What's happened to comp.lang.tcl? I haven't seen any new messages for about 48 hours (using KNode on Mandrake Linux 9.2). Is anyone else having the same problem?
AM No problem here - well, at least not that kind of a problem ;)
Kroc 02 Sept 2005 - I tried 3 news servers with thunderbird, http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.tcl.announce and http://groups.yahoo.com/group/tcl_announce/ and I saw comp.lang.tcl.announce hasn't received any new post since 31 May 2005 while I expected at least Dr. Dobb's Tcl-URL! - weekly Tcl news and links! Anyone could confirm if this newsgroup is still active or not?
LV I have been unsuccessful in contacting the moderator of comp.lang.tcl.announce. He has, on a regular basis, had periods of non-posting for long periods of time. So I don't know if this is a busy period for him, or if something more serious has occurred.
LV 2006 Feb 09 - I continue to be unsuccessful in a) contacting the moderator and b) getting yahoogroups to respond to my queries about opening the tcl_announce group up to a new moderator. Anyone know the steps on usenet to declare a new moderator? And anyone know someone willing to act as moderator?
LV 2007 Jan 11 - this morning when I visit the google groups comp.lang.tcl group, I see no postings past Jan 9th. I don't recall whether I saw anything newer yesterday.
However, just wanted to give others a heads up that something might be wrong.
Same here, no updates on http://groups.google.co.uk/group/comp.lang.tcl since Jan 9. Other google usenet groups I checked seem to be getting updates, and when I checked another news server from home last night it had more recent comp.lang.tcl postings - can't access that from work though Colin Macleod.
