It would be nice to see the Tcl community participate in this somehow:

So what suggestions do you have for projects?

Lots of stuff here to look at:

I'll probably suggest finishing up the Rivet 2.0 port for the ASF, but I
doubt there'll be any takers.

And take a look at the Perl Foundation page for their project ideas for
SoC. A lot of these would fit into TIPs:

Just out of curiosity, what do you feel missing from TileQt?
Aren't all widget supported?

We've got two feature request trackers full of suggestions, one for Tcl
and one for Tk. Many/most FRQs are suitable for a summer project, but
not all (some require massive core changes to do).

Tcl FRQs: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=10894&atid=360894
Tk FRQs: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=12997&atid=362997

Many FRQs will require TIPs, but writing a TIP is about as difficult as
writing a Wiki page describing what you want to do and why, so it
shouldn't be a hurdle for anyone (least, not compared with coding :-)).

Implementation of WSDL support in TclSOAP.

Thats probably worth $4K for the hassle of deciphering W3C
documentation :)

1. Complete work on Tclvfs project sufficient to take it from Beta to
Release status.

2. Finish work on Tcl FUSE kernel module project, so Tcl interface will
support all FUSE API features.

I think completion of these two projects will significantly raise Tcl's
profile and make it an indispensible tool for development and
administration on Unix.
