Re: Finding a niche for Tcl

Within the tcl community itself, plan on working with the repository
team to contact the authors of your favorite extensions, volunteering
to help them (if necessary) to set up the formatting of the extension
into a format suitable for the repository and putting things in place
so that updates automatically get reflected to the repository. Send a
letter to the "editor" of your favorite technical magazine, mentioning
the repository, etc.


I would gladly volunteer to help "convert" extensions to the correct
format once I learn what it is supposed to be. : )

If you want some place to get your feet wet, help work on
the tutorial, submit bug reports about typos or missing info in the man
pages. If you have web experience, volunteer to help with
http://www.tcl.tk/ .

What needs doing on there?

The more of these things that you do - the less
that the C and Tcl programmers have to do relating to the less
technical aspects ... which means more features and bug fixes. You
could even help with the bug database - look at open bug reports,
attempt to reproduce the problems with the current version of Tcl, and
add a comment showing people what you've found.

Glad to do it.
