=== Insight Journal Papers to move to Review ===
 
* [http://www.insight-journal.org/browse/publication/176 Label object representation and manipulation with ITK] (65 classes). Provides most of the features of [http://insight-journal.org/browse/publication/301 A Label Geometry Image Filter for Multiple Object Measurement], but there are still a few ones not covered.
 
=== Review Articles to be Moved ===
 
Current suggested list:
* itkTransformReader
** (and associated factories)
* Multi-threaded Registration
* Consolidated Morphology
** These classes need a code walk through to review Method names, especially internally used names. There are several that do not conform to ITK naming conventions. (e.g. itkBoxUtilities: setConnectivityEarlyBox
* Binary Functor Filters
** AddConstant, DivideByConstant, MultiplyByConstant, SubtractConstantFrom

== Check-list for Moving Code from IJ to Review and from Review ==
 
=== For IJ Articles To Review ===
* Responsible developer should add a review '''before''' moving into local copy of Review. Please provide authors with feedback regarding changes that were made to conform to ITK style/documentation etc.
 
=== For Adding Images to Input or Baseline ===
 
* Images should be '''SMALL'''.
** The source tree is not an image database, but a source code repository.
** Adding an image larger than 50Kb should be justified by a discussion in the Developers list
** Make sure that you use the "cvs add -kb" option when adding binary files to the CVS repository.
* Regression images should not use Analyze format unless the test is for the AnalyzeImageIO and related classes.
* Images should use non-trivial Metadata.
** Origin should be different form zeros
** Spacing should be different from ones, and it should be anisotropic
** Direction should be different from Identity
 
=== For Moving Code From Review ===
* At least one independent (other than contributor) should sign off on the API
* Coverage should be as close to 100% as possible.
** and never lower than 90%.
** For example, itkTransformIOBase.cxx is only at 63% coverage. Should be easily fixed by adding a Print() to one of the tests.
 
=== For All ===
* Check all comments for proper English
* Should pass KWStyle. IJ articles should be checked with KWStyle before checking into repository.
* Should pass PrintSelf. IJ articles should pass PrintSelf check before checking into repository.
* ITK_EXPORT should appear in each class definition. This triggers the PrintSelf checker.
* Replace itkGetMacro with itkGetConstMacro.
* Header file should contain Insight Journal citation
** Using the "handle" link.
* Use vcl verions of all transcendental functions.
** For example, itkGaborKernelFunction used sin() and cos() rather than vcl_sin() and vcl_cos().
* Progress should be present for all filters. Use itk::SimplerFilterWatcher to exercise progress and PrintSelfs.
* When appropriate, class should handle image directions. Tests should use non-default values for origin, spacing and dimension.
** GaborImageSource did not provide methods to set/get directions.
* Regression tests names should when possible have the same name as the test.
* Exceptions should be descriptive and provide as much information as possible
* Member data should be private with access if required through Get methods.
