+This directory contains the sources and documentation for Tk, a
+cross-platform GUI toolkit implemented with the Tcl scripting language.

+Tk is maintained, enhanced, and distributed freely by the Tcl community.
+Source code development and tracking of bug reports and feature requests
+takes place at [core.tcl-lang.org](https://core.tcl-lang.org/).
