Oops, looks like this email spilled over onto the tcljava list. At any
rate, I was not trying to rip on dev.scriptics.com, I was just saying
that creating another place for people to post tcljava questions
does not seem like a good idea to me. Folks can post to comp.lang.tcl
without "much work". They do have to do a little more to sign up for
the tcljava mailing list, but that is a good thing because random
flamers might tend to stay off the list. We have this same problem
with the bug database, it was only visible to people inside Scriptics
so reports went in but I never saw them. I just do not feel like
looking at a bunch of tcljava emails, then looking at comp.lang.tcl,
then going to a Scriptics bug database, and then looking at a
BBoards. It was hard enough to just get people to use the mailing
list.

As for the HTML stuff, yes we need that. It takes far to long to
get a "Scriptics Blessed" release because of the web site and FTP
site updates. The Web Pages really should be in the tcljava CVS
modules.
