Great initiative, I appreciate.

Another aspect is to invite people to get involved:
- formalize who has commit rights on the core repositories
- avoid, that a (voted) TIP (interpretation) changes later on. So, one 
feels free to change the core, as he thinks that it is covered by a 
voted TIP.
- formalize how concurrent TIPs work. Same subject, different solutions. 
Perhaps the possibility to vote on alternativity 1, alternativity 2
- also find global aims: what goes in TCL8.7, what in TCL 9.0

And find a way to do alphas/betas/release candidates more often.

For me, it is obvious, that the people recently heavily involved should 
be member of the TCT: Ashok, Rolf, Nathan are on my radar. And I would 
love to have the perifiric wizards like the two Christians in...

Thank you all. You are wonderful!
