I'm Donal Fellows, a maintainer of Tcl and member of the Tcl Core Team. I've also got a reasonable amount of experience with Java and C, and I'm fairly familiar with quite a few others. (looks at language box...) OK, a lot of others. (I also know HTML, CSS and XML fairly well, but don't consider them to be programming languages.)

I work at the University of Manchester, where I'm a Senior Software Engineer supporting Research Computing university-wide. My focus is currently on supporting preservation of extremely large datasets in digital libraries, and I'm using Taverna 2 Server to do this (which I wrote).

Rosetta Code Projects

1. Maintenance of the coverage of Tcl and quality of its examples
   1. It is my aim to make sure that Tcl is a participant in every task possible (including the “hard” ones) and that for all others it is clearly marked as not participating. At time of writing, there are only two non-participations...
   2. Every Tcl example must be clear, as short as possible, and informative. They must also be written well (formatting, syntax, grammar, etc.)
2. General maintenance of pages through wikignoming
3. Contribution of new tasks. My criteria are that the task should be possible in multiple languages and either part of a set of related tasks or illustrative of a feature that should be widely known of. Currently authored tasks:
   • Sutherland-Hodgman polygon clipping
   • Hough transform
   • Accumulator Factory
   • Wireworld
   • Verify Distribution Uniformity with Chi-Squared Test
   • Pendulum Animation
   • Named Arguments
   • Standard Deviation
   • Basic Animation
   • Mode
   • Median
   • Common number base parsing‎
   • Unknown Method
   • Client-Authenticated HTTPS Request‎
   • HTTPS Request‎
   • Print a Stack Trace‎
   • Echo Server‎

Is there anybody out there?

I've been trying to leave a message on your "talk" page, User_talk:Dkf but it seems not to be for you... Dinosaur (talk) 10:20, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
