who are the tcl core team members and how to communicate with them

[two...@gmail.com]

I've never been able to navigate the TIP process. It's just too difficult for me. My bad. However, I've in the past had a tip submitted and approved by email. That was nearly a decade ago so I'm not sure how to attempt that today.

I just looked at tip 0 and this is mentioned:

"We encourage people outside the Tcl Core Team to get involved with Tcl development ... It's also fine for someone outside the Tcl core team to propose a feature change and then implement it, but there must be a sponsor on the Tcl Core Team who will take personal responsibility for it."

So, can someone point me to the core team, and someone there who I might propose a feature change to?

One change I'd like to see a TIP for and then see a vote on is the idea of heinrichmartin (and implementation which I tested) for words in ()'s to be treated as an expression. This came up just again in the discussion on math::geometrie package. But it's never got to the TIP phase.

The Tcl Core Team can be reached on the TCLCORE list for sure. Also on
this newsgroup. List of members with email addresses available at:

https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/page/Tcl+Core+Team

I suggest you subscribe to the TCLCORE list (optional):

https://sourceforge.net/projects/tcl/lists/tcl-core

and post there: tcl-...@lists.sourceforge.net

Francois

So, if I send an email to that address it will read by the core team?

Would it be OK to format a TIP and send it there? Would that be acceptable protocol?

By some members at least, yes. Perhaps all.

I think so.

TIPs are now stored in a fossil repository here:

https://core.tcl-lang.org/tips/doc/trunk/index.md

It's very easy to clone this repository and create a new entry. Start
reading here:

https://core.tcl-lang.org/tips/doc/trunk/doc/help.md

If you don't have commit access, post the TIP on TCLCORE and seek help
from there.

Francois

Thanks so much. I don't have access and so I've sent off a proposal, actually two, both related to parsing which I believe would aid much in the readability (and writing) of tcl/tk code.
