[Insight-developers] Re: WrapITK warning message

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Gaetan,


Please feel free to modify the message for one that you find more
appropriate.


Please note that anecdotic reports that the system "has been build"
in platform X by person Y are not satisfactory enough for our quality
control standards.


The definition of a "system being supported" in ITK is the following:


         "  There is a green submission from
           that system to the Dashboard today.  "


We can only guarantee that we support a particular platform if we
can show that there is a green Dashboard submission from that
specific platform.


Quality control, just as science, is all about *Reproducibility*.


So, please, respecting that definition, modify the message to some
less dissuasive text.


Please do so soon.
We will be closing the CVS repository in a couple of hours.



    Thanks


       Luis
