Traditionally, a stand-alone client application is rendered collaborative
for members of a team either
by sharing its view or by re-writing it as a collaborative client.
However, it may not be possible to anticipate in advance all 
preferences for collaboration, hence such a client 
may appear confusing to some of the team members.
We propose a novel client/server architecture for tk-based
applications: rendering any stand-alone client collaborative,
without a code re-write. Participants themselves are allowed to
dynamically re-configure the inter-client synchronization table
to suit their changing preferences and needs.
The \texttt{CollabWiseTk} toolkit, based on the proposed architecture,
is an extension of the tk functionality to 
support collaboration. It re-defines the existing tk commands
such that the entire tk widget set is rendered collaborative for use
with multiple users. 
We demonstrate the capabilities of the \texttt{CollabWiseTk} toolkit 
by readily rendering collaborative
most of the {\em Tk Widget Demonstrations}, 
distributed with the core Tcl/Tk.
The toolkit
is implemented  in pure tcl and it ports to
all platforms.
