This is [Larry McVoy]'s company. The main product as of 2001 is BitKeeper, a ''highly'' scalable [SCM] [Tk]-based application, profiled in http://swexpert.com/CC/SE.C12.SEP.01.pdf . BitKeeper's featureful. [Bryan Oakley] has mentioned its potential as the technical base for a solution to the largely-social problem of replacing and bettering [SourceForge], [CPAN], and so on, and, in this context, justly remarked, "The nice thing about bitkeeper is that the entire repository can easily be cloned by anyone, so while there would be a single master, there could be many duplicate backup servers anywhere in the world." ---- The BitKeeper site has nice words for tcl/tk [http://www.bitkeeper.com/Products.Graphical.Screen.html] "These tools are written in tcl/tk, calling out to BitKeeper tools for manipulating the revision control files. Many thanks are due to John Ousterhout and the Scriptics team for an excellent GUI toolkit. We've evaluated other toolkits over the years and while they may look nicer, nothing has yet to approach the power of the TK widget set, it is a better design than anything we've seen." ---- [[ [Category Company] ]]
