I'm a Tcl developer who wants to see more of the popular Tcl extensions included in Fedora, as well as more high quality  Games. As a Fedora Sponsor, I am willing to help other Tcl'ers and gamers through the Fedora sponsorship process. I have written  Tcl packaging guidelines  and maintain the packaging for a large number of games and Tcl extensions for both Fedora and EPEL. You can see the full list of packages that I maintain at:
