| Public irc channel (and network): | Of course, we encourage you to use TkChat (http://wiki.tcl.tk/2619) to connect to our XMPP Chatroom at tcl@tach.tclers.tk! However, many people connect up with us via irc://irc.freenode.net/tcl. The IRC channel is mirrored to/from the XMPP Chatroom. |
| Description: |
The Tcl/Tk community includes anybody who uses Tcl/Tk, is interested in Tcl/Tk, or just wants to be in the club! Tcl/Tk is used by a wide range of governmental, commercial and educational institutions around the globe. Many well-known and well-regarded systems have either been developed in Tcl/Tk or are using Tcl/Tk as an embedded language (e.g. Expect, AOLserver, DejaGnu, Metakit, Starkit and SQLite). We communicate through IRC (see below), an active development list (see below) and a wiki (http://wiki.tcl.tk). The Eighth European Tcl/Tk Users Meeting will be held in June, and September we will be holding our sixteenth annual Tcl/Tk conference in the USA. |
