FlightAware are sponsoring a programme of bounties for improving Tcl and (selected) extensions.
Full details here: https://github.com/flightaware/Tcl-bounties
Note that these bounties are not sufficiently generous to be considered pay (given how much a software engineer should be able to earn). They're more awards for things someone might be inclined to do anyway.
