The correct email address of tclcore is, of course,

	<tcl...@li...>

Yes it's normal and no that's not how you do it. If the first element 
is a volume name, it must end with ':'

file join a: b c

[MACTCL] info script question

[Gert K. <qa...@ch...>]

When sourceing a file into wish (8.3.2p1), sometimes [info script] returns 
the pathname of the script, sometimes only a colon :
Should it be my mistake, or maybe 
system info that gets corrupted (after one of my mistakes)
or a problem with wish?

As far as I tested, I see at succes after a fresh reboot, after a first 
start of wish. After one or more times getting a colon, I may get the valid 
pathname.
Doing nothing special inbetween the attempts.

[MACTCL] [file join] newbie question

[Gert K. <qa...@ch...>]

Is it normal that ":a:b:c" is the result of
file join a b c 
?
So if a is the name of the disk, the first ':' has to be removed in an 
extra step?

[MACTCL] [TCT] Call for maintainers

[Andreas K. <a.k...@we...>]

Hello and welcome.

One of the things the TCT recently discussed was the division of the
core into functional areas (-> TIP 16 [x]). As this task is completed
we are now in search of people who are willing to maintain / take
responsibility for (at least) one of these functional areas. People
with an interest in Tk should note that an analogous TIP is in
preparation and discussion (TIP 23 [%]). Their feedback is welcome.

Knowledge of the core in the chosen area is a bonus but not required.
A willingness to aquire such knowledge is required, as is enough
volunteer time, i.e. at least a few hours per week.

The tasks of a maintainer include:

*	Tracking, evaluation and fixing bugs [/] falling into the
	chosen functional area.

*	Tracking, evaluation and application of patches [*] falling
	into the chosen functional area.

When bugs and patches touch upon more than one functional area, the
maintainers for all affected areas coordinate their activities. The
same holds true if we get more than one maintainer for a functional
area. If maintainers get deadlocked about an issue the TCT will step
in and break the deadlock.

Maintainers are also responsible for insuring that contributions can
be included into the Tcl sources under the current Tcl license. This
mostly means that if the contributor works on Tcl on his employer's
time, you should make sure that releasing the contribution under the
Tcl license is all right with the employer.

People who are interested in taking up maintainership should send an
email to Tclcore <tcl...@li...> until the end of
February.
