I could help to Tcl_Objectify AOLserver. My three colleges have
declared that they will help too. So there are 4 programmers willing to
contribute their skills and time. Our experience is a few C extentions for
AOLserver so we are familiar with AOLserver source code and TCL C API.
>From Rob Mayoff discussion of Zoran Vasiljevic nsv_* improvements it seems
that in some cases it's improper to change strings to Tcl_Objs. I would
like to see more detailed discussion of *what* and *how* it should be
done, especially from AOL people that proposed this change.
I think that request for help in objectifying AOLserver is a great
oportunity for community to contribute. Those who want AOLserver
be more 'open sourced' (like OpenNSD founders) have their chance
to step in.
