-VIII- Are there any mailing lists covering topics related to Tcl/Tk?
From: FAQ General information
There are quite a number of mailing lists which cover topics
relating to the Tcl community. As you begin one, if you will send
me information relating to the mailing list, I will add it below.
o Basic Object Systems (BOS)
BOS is a SELF-like objects extension to Tcl.

o Comp.Lang.Tcl by email
For those Usenet-deprived individuals who are thus unable
to read comp.lang.tcl, an email alternative is available.
If you get comp.lang.tcl you do not need to sign up for this list.
A service called "listserv" is being run out of CERN to forward
comp.lang.tcl postings via e-mail to people who don't have direct
access to the newsgroup. In addition, they are archiving the newsgroup
so you can retrieve old postings from them. Here is some more
information about the service.
1) send a mail to <URL:mailto:listserv@cernvm.cern.ch> with one line
in the body:
subscribe tcltk
2) see how it works (you will receive the mail with instructions from
listserv);
3) unsubscribe by a mail to <URL:mailto:listserv@cernvm.cern.ch> with
one line in the body:
signoff tcltk
4) again, signing off will be confirmed by listserv
