[VTK ARB] VTK NIH Maintenance grant

[Will Schroeder]

I am working with Brad Davis to put together a proposal for VTK-focused,
biomedical computing work (a so-called NIH maintenance grant
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-08-010.html). We'd like to
hear any ideas you might have, but be forewarned the number of specific aims
will be limited to 3-5, so most ideas I'm afraid won't make the final cut.
Nonetheless, any suggestions for VTK improvements that would benefit
biomedical computing are welcome. I've pasted a rough list that we've
collected thus far..

      - New Stuff
      - Arbitrary precision geometry routines (casey)
      - Introspection layer (pat)
   - Software Process Improvements
      - Incorporate static analysis into nightly/weekly process
   - Pure Maintenance
      - Triage & Fix Bugs (see issue tracker)
