[Insight-developers] Comments please: Prototype DTI fiber trackingin ITK

[Torsten Rohlfing]

Bill:

That definitely works for me. I will keep making things nicer, and when 
I am happy I will post a new version to the mailing list. Then you can 
take it and commit whenever you feel you're ready for it.
