To you (and maybe me), yes. But there are still attendees trying to decide
whether to devote their time to more meetings, and I think it might help
them decide to have a tutorial (review for some) of basic Tcl and Tk
syntax.
Now if they want to devote a Saturday morning to this in workshop format,
that could work too. I'd be game to teach the basics.
Wrapping is a great topic. Are you thinking tclkit and/or Active State
("for deployment")? Or are you thinking the more plebian, but perhaps more
useful to our beginners, topic of wrapping CLI programs in a GUI front end
(with and w/o expect)?
Either works for me.
If it's Tclkit, perhaps we could get Jean Claude Whipple to present
(although if he's in Belgium, a Saturday morning meeting would be
necessary for the time change). If it's Active State, frankly I want
someday to ask Jeff Bowles to present on the Active State TCL Workbench
(visual debugging, code windows, all that Microsoftian stuff), and I'd be
hesitant to ask him on this subject too. Much as the Tcl community is
generous with its time, more than once a year per person seems like a bit
of an imposition.
If it's wrapping as in putting lipstick on a CLI pig, lots of people could
present on it, probably including you. But I like the idea of exposing the
group to lots of top Tcl'ers (as opposed to making it the "Lan and Darren
Show"), so I might ask someone like Clif Flynt to do that.
Thoughts?
