As I undestand, David N. Welton is the last who made major
contributions.

What I propose is to push your excellent achievements on
SourceForge. What do you think? May be it will be able to attract
new developers?

Or, may be you will be able to take the lead of the mod_tcl
project and continue to host it at apache? I think it should be OK.

As to me, I would like to try out your code (if it's free) since I
have some experience with mod_perl, but I've discovered Tcl some
time ago and now I would prefer programming in Tcl (I program for
my intranet, so the speed isn't an issue).
