# -VI- Where do I report problems, bugs, or enhancements - or - What is comp.lang.tcl?

    From: FAQ General information

    	There are two alternatives for reporting bugs and problems.
    The first is the Usenet news group <URL:news:comp.lang.tcl>, an unmoderated
    Usenet newsgroup, created for the discussion of the Tcl programming language
    and tools that use some form of Tcl, such as: the Tk toolkit for the X window
    system, Extended Tcl, and expect.  Please note that postings of source
    code to comp.lang.tcl does not automatically get archived on
    ftp.aud.alcatel.com (the User Contributions archive site) - if you want
    your code to be available, you will need to make arrangements with the
    folks there to have it added.  See elsewhere in the FAQ for more details on
    the user contrib archive site.

    	The second would be to report problems, suggestions, new
    ideas, etc. directly to the author.  Email to

    <URL:mailto:John.Ousterhout@eng.sun.com> (John Ousterhout)

    will reach the author of Tcl and Tk - to find the email
    address of the authors of other Tcl/Tk based programs,
    (See tcl-faq/part4), and (See tcl-faq/part5).

    	One question that comes up fairly often concerning comp.lang.tcl
    is why it isn't split.  The newsgroup varies in traffic, but recently
    I have seen it as much as 45 messages a day (counting current cross
    postings, etc.)  Dr. Ousterhout was the created of the unmoderated
    comp.lang.tcl.  Currently, no one has come forward with the time and
    resources to run a discussion of how a split could be handled, nor
    have any moderators stepped forward to take over moderation of a group
    such as comp.lang.tcl.announce for instance.  So to date, such a question
    is good for adding to the existing traffic, but that is about all the
    farther things go.
