> So far we have created 90 modules out of the monolithic ITK (not  
> including Examples and Reviews). Among the 90 modules, there are 14  
> utility modules (such as  itk-tiff and itk-xml) ,  and  21 I/O  
> modules (such as itk-io-tiff).  The   Manifest (located ITK/ 
> Modularization/Manifest.txt)  lists 2352 source code files and  
> their  locations in the modularized ITK.  Here is a spreadsheet  
> version of the Manifest for your convinence to explore:  
> Manifest.xlsx.  You can also get a copy of a modularized ITK  
> (produced at Feb. 2nd) from  http://itk.org/gitweb?p=tmp/modularITK.git 
>  to investigate.
>
>
> The current modularization process involves manually editing the  
> Manifest file, adding tests for each module and running dashboards  
> for modularized ITK every day.  This process is done for the  
> majority of ITK now and will be done for the entire toolkit by Feb  
> 28th. Moreover, this process will continue to be carried out for any  
> new contributions into ITKv4. Therefore, it will be extremely  
> helpful for developers to get familiar with the new lay-out of the  
> toolkit and get ready for the changes.

>
> We are working on detailed documentations to help both developers  
> and users to adapt to the modularized version of ITK. More details  
> about the modularization can be found at this wiki page: http://www.itk.org/Wiki/ITK_Release_4/Modularization
