So are there any Tcl programmers on this list who'd like to help me out on this?
I'm not up to it myself just yet and I'd like to see it get off the ground ASAP,
so please respond to the list with your pledge of undying efforts.

Doug,

If you are willing to have your changes contributed back to the vtcl source
base, I will open up my CVS repository so they can do live updating against
the master sources. This spares me from having to fold your changes back in
and means I can do more frequent distributions to the vtcl community.

whaddya think?
