[Insight-developers] ITK Dashboard cleanup

[Will Schroeder]

Folks-

The ITK dashboard has been less than green for too long now. As I 
result, I have tasked Dave Cole to clean up the dashboard. (Dave 
recently did a fine job cleaning the VTK dashboard.) I have directed 
Dave to be ruthless with his efforts; many lingering problems need 
cleaning even if it means removing code or touching sacred cows.

The motivation for doing this, besides the fact that we care about the 
quality of the system, is that the ITK program manager Dr. Terry Yoo at 
the National Library of Medicine, supports Kitware to maintain and 
extend the software, and rightfully expects the quality to remain high. 
Also, other efforts such as NIH's US National Centers of Biomedical 
Computation, in particular NAMIC (the National Alliance of Medical Image 
Computing na-mic.org, which is now developing the next generation 
Slicer3 application http://www.na-mic.org/Wiki/index.php/Slicer3), 
depend on stable, quality software. And I'm sure many of you in the ITK 
community have your own research and/or applications that will benefit 
from these efforts.

So please bear with us as we clean house. If you wish to help that's 
great, we welcome any contributions that aim to improve the system's 
quality. Feel free to contact Dave if you'd like to coordinate with him 
on assignments.
