[FlightAware] are sponsoring a programme of bounties for improving Tcl and (selected) extensions.

Full details here: https://github.com/flightaware/Tcl-bounties

Note that these bounties are not sufficiently generous to be considered pay (given how much a software engineer should be able to earn). They're more awards for things someone might be inclined to do anyway.

   * Support for SO_REUSEPORT on server sockets
   ** TIP 456: [http://tip.tcl.tk/456]
   ** Code: [http://core.tcl.tk/tcl/timeline?r=tip-456]

   ** TIP 457: [http://tip.tcl.tk/457]
   ** Alternative: [Proposal for proc argument handling enhancments]
   * Call-by-name syntactic sugar for proc definitions that would obviate most uses of upvar
   ** Code: [http://core.tcl.tk/tcl/timeline?r=dah-proc-arg-upvar]
   ** Original patch: [http://core.tcl.tk/tcl/info/507d9b9651a3c903]

***Completed***

(coming soon)

***Not yet claimed***

   * Upgrade the scotty extension (TEA)
   * Upgrade the scotty extension (UDP)
   * Clean up of tcltls
   * Revive the Tcl Pro debugger
   * Make TclX's signal trap handlers safe to use with threaded Tcl
   * Make TclX's profiler work properly with Tcl 8.6
   * Stop Tcl from eating child process exit status gratuitously
   * after -at
   * array default arrayName value
   ** Interested expressed by [AMG], no code yet
   * Tcl runtime performance improvements (2X)
   * Tcl runtime performance improvements (10X)
   ** [DKF]: It is not possible to get a 10x speedup without going to native code somewhere.
   ** See [tclquadcode] for what I think is the best bet right now for achieving the 10x goal.
