Steve presented the project to get more people into the TCT
Ashok presented loseless encoding mode to make "open" find all the files glob finds. Great work! The integration of the ICU library and Unicode normalization was discussed but seen as out of scope for this step. Ashok sees this as required to use "strict" as default encoding scheme for the system. This is also to avoid, that any file operation failes due to encoding errors in file names. This is seen as the last requirement before starting the beta of TCL 9.0.
Present from the TCT: Andreas, Steve, Brian (3am !!), Donal.
