I like to write the weekly {Tcl,Python,...}-URL! digests. It's recreational, for me. I write [http://phaseit.net/claird/misc.writing/publications.html] also for more conventional publications. I've written chapters on Tcl [http://phaseit.net/claird/comp.lang.tcl/tcl.html] and other scripting languages for several books, and do a column [http://www.regularexpressions.com/] twice a month on scripting. Along with this part-time journalism, I'm a full-time software developer [http://www.phaseit.net/]. ---- One of my characteristic habits is to threaten over an extended period to work on various community projects. Occasionally, with enough motivation, I actually follow through. On the possibility that one of these will interest someone, I'll list a few of the half-baked items currently on the shelves: * Lots of [tcllib] stuff--documentation, performance enhancements, examples, corrections to RFC non-conformance, ... [Andreas Kupries]: If you have time please add such information to the tcllib tracker at SourceForge [http://sourceforge.net/projects/tcllib]. Or feed them piecemeal through me. * [Memory introspection] commands * Win-Tcl documentation * Greatly sanitized [tcltest] distributions * More [Tcl/Java] write-ups * Testing theory * Help with [TinyTcl] * Elaboration of [George Peter Staplin]'s Tk-Xlib work (which I greatly admire) * Propaganda on why Tk is wonderful * ... * More explanations of the "[resources database]" * Write-ups of "Tcl in the real world" * Tclish expert systems * response to [Larry Virden]'s observation that "this is part of the info that I keep harping about being needed for USERS of Tcl... most of the Tcl doc is written for application developers accustomed to code diving". [package]-ing is a particular example. * [Tclkit] evangelism * ... ---- [Dave Snyderman] claims I described myself as a "walking Wiki index". I don't remember that ... ---- Maybe you didn't write it on the Wiki, and therefore don't have the index. Note: Some wiki comments are by "CL", which links to a different page, but is still Cameron Laird. ---- [Category Home Page]
