That would be cool! Is the process for contributing to the wiki or to a "Source" article documented on the wiki somewhere?<div><div><br></div><div>Gerrick<br><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, May 29, 2012 at 12:03 PM, Sebastien Jourdain <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:sebastien.jourdain@kitware.com" target="_blank">sebastien.jourdain@kitware.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
thanks for getting back to me. I agree the wiki need to be better<br>
structured. But as you noticed the Java side of it is kind of small or<br>
inexistent.<br>
And therefore, if you are willing to share your knowledge and<br>
experience around your Netbean integration, creating a new wiki page<br>
on that subject does make sense. Or if you prefer you can even write a<br>
Source article that will be published and archived by Kitware.<br>
