TIP is the acronym for [Tcl Improvement Proposal], a process put into place by the [Tcl Core Team] (TCT) for submitting changes to Tcl or Tk which would result in C API or script level API interfaces.

All existing TIPs can be found at http://www.purl.org/tcl/tip/ ,

Votes require (an) implementation (plan).


A [SourceForge] "Feature Request"
[??]
is a lighter-weight entry point for people with clearer
ideas about needs than implementation.


One possible ideal:  [TCT] does as little as possible with
TIPs.  That is, TCT supervises/manages/oversees the process.
Engineering work shouldn't be a TCT responsibility (in general?
sometimes?  ...).

Note that a number of TCT members are also active TIP authors, but this does not let anyone off the hook.  The TCT makes sure the engineering quality of suggestions is good enough and provides technical reviews of them.  ''Implementations have to be supplied by the proposer'' though if (s)he can get someone to help, that's all to the good of course...
