The Tcler's Wiki is a collaboratively-edited area on the web, dedicated to the [Tcl] programming language and its extensions, including the [Tk] graphical toolkit. It also has a "persistent url": http://purl.org/tcl/wiki/ and a rad cool redirect: http://wiki.tcl.tk/ (yes, there's a Tokelau [http://www.janeresture.com/tokelau_islands/]).

The system hosting the Tcler's Wiki comprises the following software modules

   * [Wikit]
   * [Wub]
   * [WubWikit]
   * [TDBC]

The relationships between the modules are shown in the following diagram

**History**


The Tcler's Wiki was created by [Jean-Claude Wippler] and hosted by him ("IPX Server" [http://www.ipxserver.de], located in Nürnberg, Germany) from 1999 until the early 2007. Its domain name has been set up as ''mini.net''. With thanks to the previous provider, Rackspace (TX, US), whose server hosted mini.net for many years.

In early 2007 the hosting was taken over by [Colin McCormack] after he wrote a new network interface to the Wiki backend, and in early 2008 the Wiki was given a visual makeover by [Steve Landers], [Jos Decoster] began to add new markup (an ongoing project for Jos) and [Kevin Kenny] wrote the history facilities.

In 2010, [Jos Decoster] retargeted the wiki to [TDBC] backend, necessitating substantial rewrites.
 
The Wiki is now hosted by the [Tcl Association] on behalf of the Tcl Community, and maintained by a team of volunteers, including

    * [Jos Decoster]
    * [Kevin Kenny]
    * [Pat Thoyts]
    * [Colin McCormack]
    * [Steve Landers]

The Wiki contents are stewarded by a team of ''Wiki Gnomes'', one of the most
prominent being [Larry Virden].

[Colin McCormack] continues to develop and support [Wub] and the Wiki network
interface.
