The Tcl Core Team, or TCT, is the august body elected to direct the development of the Tcl Core in the summer of 2000.
There are some respected former members who resigned due to lack of personal time.
And who no longer are among us.

In accordance with TIP 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.
