[TCLCORE] RFC/PEP format

[Dan K. <ku...@aj...>]

Although I am not on the core team, I would like to
propose to them that a RFC/PEP system be put in place
soon to allow RFC/PEP type proposals and discussions
to begin.

I thought the core team was ready to start recieving
these messages, but Mark Harrison said in the news
group that you are not:

To start recieving RFCs I don't think there is too
much work that needs to be done.

The process used by Perl and Python is almost identical.
You can read about them at:

http://dev.perl.org/

and

http://python.sourceforge.net/peps/

(please note that the first link in the list of
PEPs is the PEP that describes what a pep is and
how it works)

I would also like to suggest some type of semi-regular
status update from the development team/core team to
the community to keep them up to date, similar to this
one in python:

http://starship.python.net/crew/amk/python/dev/

I would be willing to do the work to get a web
archiving system in place similar to the ones used
for the PEP/RFC sites used by perl and python
(both pages are pretty simple) if the core
team is ready for this to be setup.

It seems like this is needed in the near term
so that the development for 8.4 can continue
as there are several proposals that currently
are ready to be discussed.

Thanks,
  --Dan
