Abstract

General Categories

The following categories in Tk's SourceForge Tracker do not refer to any specific portion of Tk. Reports in these categories should be mapped to categories corresponding to a maintained area of Tk, when seeking the appropriate maintainer:

1. Code Cleanup - map to category for the code cleaned up.

2. Threading - map to the category for the code where there are threading issues.

3. Other - reassign once appropriate category is determined.

Areas Without Maintainers

Those funcational areas without a maintainer are maintained by the Tcl Core Team with each change requiring TYANNOTT review.
