Status of TKP Project

Several people have written asking me if I've abandoned work on TKP.  I
haven't.  However, it has become clear from feedback I've received here and
elsewhere that writing up my ideas will take a lot more concentration that
I anticipated, and I don't have the time for that kind of effort right now.
As a result, TKP is on the back burner, but there's still a flame there.
I'm still giving talking on TKP from time to time, and that material is
part of a more general seminar I'm developing called "Better Software, No
Matter What." (It's about domain- and language-independent techniques for
improving software quality.)

Things are crazy busy for the rest of this year, so it's unlikely that I'll
get any more TKP writing done in 2004, but I continue to be interested in
the topic, so please continue to post when you see something that you think
is relevant.  Come 2005, I hope to work on TKP more actively again.
Certainly the software industry doesn't seem to be imposing them any less
than they used to.

Thanks,

Scott
