[Insight-developers] proposal: enhancing wrapitk's filter coverage during (one of) the next tcon

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Dan,

Thanks a lot for volunteering.

Following your suggestion, a Wiki page has been created for this topic.

You will find it at the table:
http://www.itk.org/Wiki/ITK_Oversight_Committee#2008

or directly at
http://www.itk.org/Wiki/Proposals:Increasing_WrapITK_Coverage


Please feel free to add your name in front of the filters that
you would be interested in wrapping.


   Thanks


      Luis
