How To Collaborate To Repair Tool Set Bugs, Extend Tool Set Functionality, Or Add Tools

In collaborating on the tool set source code, there are several principles that must be adhered to:

• All source code is subject to peer review before incorporation into the tool set.
• All source code should meet coding standards.
• In the case of modifications to IjuScripter and IjuConsole (the scripting tools):
  • The "core" should be modified only when a bug is located (i.e. neatening the core when the modifications are not pursuant to the location or correction of a defect is an ill-advised activity).
  • As far as is possible, Tcl extensions should be designed so that any defects in the extension source code cannot be exhibited if the extension is not used.  (This is to prevent the difficult debugging scenario where a defect in script behavior is due to a Tcl command not used in the script.)
