During last week's Tcl conference, at least two items relating to the vtcl
community arose.
The first was a comment by one attendee who asked why vtcl doesn't allow
one to specify the variable names it uses. Most people who have trained
in programming strive to give all variables meaningful names - so having
to edit the vtcl output to replace button1 everywhere with "confirmdelete"
etc is something they always have to do. Having a field in the dialogs
used to create the various widgets where the user specifies names to use
seems like would be a helpful feature. It could even use the current
naming scheme for default, for those who don't want to get that specfic.
The other item is more political. It was announced that VisualGipsy is
now an open source product. Visual Gipsy is a graphical design application
which looks quite like vtcl. Updates to it have occured for some time
now.
