[Insight-developers] Python wrapping of IO plugin

[Matt McCormick]

Hi David,

Great to hear about the new IO module!

To add to Brad's comments, we will be looking into ways to auto-register
External/Remote IO Module plugins at the MincIO hackathon in Montreal on
Wednesday and Thursday next week.  If you would like to attend in person,
please let me know.  If you would like to attend via Google+ Hangout, the
link will be posted to this mailing list.

Thanks,
Matt
