I cannot seem to post to the ltk-user email list via gmane, nor can I
complete a subscription request to post directly. Is this happening to
anyone else? If so, is this a list admin issue or a common-lisp.net issue?
Also, as far as anyone can tell is LTK still under active development?
Questions I have.

Lord, yes. Well, I saw traffic within the last month. Two weeks ago.

Absolutely. The lead author just gave a tutorial at ILC09. The Tk
library was extremely stable (unchanging) for several years, so he saw
no need to update the release version. Apparently several changes are
in version control though, in preparation for a new release targeting
the latest Tk.

Peter Herth actually told me that the company he is working for is
deploying a major application using LTk. So my guess is that this
project will remain actively maintained for the foreseeable future.

Alright, it's a going concern then. The mailing list is a bit deaf
though. Gmane via http://news.gmane.org/gmane.lisp.ltk.user shows some
light traffic as recently as the 15th, but the archive at http://common-
lisp.net/pipermail/ltk-user/ shows only three messages since the
beginning of the year: all before March.
All of my attempts to post or subscribe have gone down a black hole.
By the way, ActiveState Tcl with tiled widgets is looking quite nice on
Windows these days, but tiled widgets aren't terribly well supported in
the current release of LTk. I'm trying to find out if I would be
duplicating someone else's work if I started adding some of the widgets
myself.

Then it's cl.net that's broken. The list is active, if lightly used.
This is less surprising when you know that nearly all Ltk development
is done by Peter and myself, and we tend to have plenty of off-list
ways to discuss devel issues.

Yep, you would be. I thought the latest version from the website
should use Tile if you push :tk85 on *features*. If I'm wrong about
that, send me a mail and I'll slip you a pre-release copy of the
branch that's due to be promoted to the next release.
