OK, these are more of your projects, so you are still covered as represented.
Do you list these because you use treeview or tablelist (or both)?  It may
well be possible that many other apps are using treeview that simple make no
mention of it.  A visual overview of the "Applications using Tile" page
indicates that Grimoire uses it, but not the other apps listed there.

The head of tile is package require'able into the head of Tk.  That should be
maintained.  Some underlying bits (at the C level) may change to prevent name
conflicts.
