Date: Fri, 12 Apr 2002 07:19:00 -0000 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed Message-ID: X-OriginalArrivalTime: 12 Apr 2002 14:19:43.0496 (UTC) FILETIME=[17461880:01C1E22D] X-SW-Source: 2002-q2/txt/msg00018.txt.bz2 I think the number one barrier to entry for working on this project is the lack of a good debug environment. Issuing messages to the log file is too slow and cumbersome. When I mentioned the TclPro debugger, which has a great interface, I got no response. When I'm able to, I'll work on building TclPro v1.5 for Windows so I can work on SN. I had previously used a trial period version of the Aspen release, and I was begining to figure out the SN code base. My trial period has expired, but I am convinced using log file deugging techniques will be too slow to work on SN with. Please keep in mind that people new to working on this product will have to learn tcl/tk, itcl/itk, the SN code base, and probably other packages I'm not even aware of yet. It's a very large task. A good debugging package is essential to getting more people to work on SN.
