== Myself ==
 
Just another one of those people who like noodling around with computers. Sometimes I get paid for it, sometimes I don't.
 
=== Older stuff ===
 
Is it customary to clean out older conversations? Resolved questions? Trim down a conversation to its conclusion? Would that be impolite? What's teh social norm here?
 
==TCL & Tk, or TCL/Tk?==
A question for someone who clearly knows more about TCL than I...Is TCL's graphical combination with Tk normally considered its own language, or is Tk considered a library? If the former, then it makes more sense for GUI TCL snippets to link to [[Tcl]] in their section titles, and list [[Tk]] as a library. If the latter, then it makes sense for GUI TCL snippets to link to [[TCL/Tk]]. --[[User:Short Circuit|Short Circuit]] 22:48, 14 February 2007 (EST)

:I have no clue :-) I personally use "TCL" most of the time, but I also use "Tcl". Google gives me 31 million hits on "TCL" and 30.9 million hits on "Tcl" so I guess it's a wash. I guess haggling over spelling isn't "the TCL way". In a wiki, "The TCL way" would be to have pages for "TCL", "Tcl" and "tcl" (and the various combinations with "Tk or "tk") and have them all forward/redirect to the same thing. If TCL is about anything then it is about radical simplicity and "things usually just doing what you expect"... (and is it common to reply to things right here? Or should I reply on <i>your</i> user talk page?)[[User:Sgeier|Sgeier]] 23:38, 14 February 2007 (EST)
::Thanks for the info. Conversations normally take place on the Talk pages where they were started, so this would be a typical example for most conversations. However, user talk pages spawn notifications for the user who owns them. For me, it doesn't matter. I check the "Recent Changes" page and try to examine every page after a change. But as the only wiki sysop and beurocratbureaucrat, that's my job. In short, this works for me. YMMV with other users. --[[User:Short Circuit|Short Circuit]] 23:33, 18 February 2007 (EST)
 
::: I use “Tcl” because I don't like writing things all in CAPS, but “TCL” is not wrong. (Note that there are other uses of “TCL” out there which can confuse the Google counts, such as a Chinese electrical goods manufacturer; the other form is more exclusive.) —[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] 20:56, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
