With all the talk about revitalizing Tk, I started thinking about the problem from another angle - that of the Tcl comunity. While Tk has become very popular and widely used, maybe there hasn't been enough emphasis on how to use it well?
For instance, I don't recall reading anything about GUI design in Brent Welch's otherwise excellent book. While it's clearly out of the scope of his work, a few pointers and suggestions to go along with all of the powerful Tk tools he shows to the world would be welcome.
I think creating more "cultural awareness" of good design would be a good first step, possibly including some critiques and suggestions?

Incidentally, I have a lot to learn on this subject myself, and would love it if someone gave me some thoughtful input on my own GUI apps - davidw.
