Thank you Harald for the hearty endorsement, which is much appreciated.
Sorry
to have missed your previous email, but thank you also for your
initiative in
that regard. I don't see it in my archives, so I guess it was lost.
In the past I have worked full time for a few months at a time on the
Tcl core,
with good results, and have been planning recently to do it again, and
this
time to send out invoices to companies using Tcl, along with a letter
explaining the effort so that those who wish to support it can easily do
so by
voluntarily paying the invoices. If it goes well, I'll spend more time
working
on the development of Tcl.
