** Description **
In accordance with [TIP] [http://www.tcl.tk/cgi-bin/tct/tip/0.html%|%0, Tcl
Core Team Basic Rules], the TCT invites new members based on an assesment of an
individual's code and leadership contributions to Tcl. The TCT relies heavily
on community resources to maintain the other components of the Tcl ecosystem
that are vital to keeping the entire project healthy and vibrant. If you
appreciate Tcl and want to get involved, you are welcome! Apart from the Core
Team, there are numerous opportunities for others to maintain important Tcl
resources and nurture the community, and to have a strong influence over the
future direction of Tcl.
The TCT has a long-standing policy of wanting to enable people to do cool stuff
and not getting unduly in the way of those who do the work. We're particularly
keen on enabling people to do cool stuff without having to change Tcl. The
very very high engineering standards that are applied to the core, especially
for stability, robustness and documentation, do slow the pace of change a bit,
but for good reason, and ultimately with the goal of enabling people people to
build things on top easily. A modular, layered design is ultimately in the
best interests of everyone, and hopefully provides a solid foundation upon
which other developments can happen rapidly and in a distributed, scalable way.
