welcome aboard, Rob
I think that any programmer familiar and fluent with Tcl has quite a
good point in opting for Rivet instead of PHP, even for new projects. So
we are glad you're starting a Tcl/Rivet based project and look forward
to have feedback from you.
Just a suggestion: there must be in the Debian archives a package for
Rivet 2.1.1 that would go onto wheezy. Rivet 2.1 has some new desirable
features. Later Debian packages (2.1.2 and 2.1.3) need Apache 2.4
(shipped with Debian/Jessie)

After doing a documentation suggestion, Massimo suggested me to join the

My first "connection" with Rivet was a few weeks ago, when I sought a
simple server-side web generation language/framework with short learning
curve (with the aim of creating a sort of community shared living
table). There have been some little (first) PHP experiments - that was
for modifying current stuff. I found Rivet via wiki.tcl.tk (I think so).
And my Tcl experience/knowledge constitutes the basis upon the decision
to start experiments with Rivet (despite knowing C, which makes PHP
familiar as well). A second drive was the fact that Tcl/rivet allows
substantial program build&test without web frontend.
I intend to create some sort of tutorial from the view of unexperienced
web programmers. Two websites have been created, and next (in a few
weeks) I'll try to present a sort of template that can be used by
newbies as a means to build in their own stuff.
Of course PHP makes generically more sense when new stuff must be
created (that does not rely on an existing reusable Tcl code base), but
for Tclers I'd suggest that Rivet means a shorter way to create web apps
(Basta!).
Technical information: "My" Rivet runs on a Debian wheezy-based vserver,
installed via package management (2.0.5-1).
