Version 11 of Tcl 8.5 To-do List

Updated 2006-08-03 12:14:17 by NEM

George Peter Staplin 08.02.2006 - The goal of this page is to help the Tcl community contribute to the Tcl 8.5 release. A number of issues should be resolved before the release.

Tcl is a community project and we own it.

You could say that Tcl is The Community Language. :)

  1. Update the Tcl tutorial with the latest 8.5 features.
  2. Eliminate the unbraced exprs in the tutorial.
  3. Reduce the number of priority 9 bugs. Any contributions to get closer to this is helpful.
  4. Reduce the overall number of bugs. Any bug is worth fixing.
  5. Follow up on unclosed yet, apparent fixed bugs. Make sure we can move forward.

The bug trackers for Tcl and Tk are linked to from here: http://tcl.sf.net

Add your name to this page with a list of 1 or more things you're doing, so that we don't get duplicate effort.

If you deem the fix useful then please thank that person. Often times open source work is a thankless job, but it doesn't have to be :)

  • RLH I will do #2: Update - The CVS version is newer...so I would like the newer version to get out there so I can look at it more easily.
  • George Peter Staplin I'm working on Tcl bug 1028264

NEM Regarding item 1 - updating the tutorial - my understanding (as a maintainer for the tutorial) was that the tutorial is supposed to be a brief introduction rather than a comprehensive coverage of all features. While I agree that some usage in the tutorial could be updated to show best-practice in 8.5, I'm not sure that we need to cover every new command.
