[Insight-developers] Q about adding new filter.

[Matt McCormick]

Hi guys,

I think Insight Journal submissions are laudable for their ability to
provide documentation and an example surrounding the code.  When
someone finds a class, it would be excellent if their was an Insight
Journal article surrounding that is more informative than the Doxygen
documentation.

That said, Kent's remark that there is a "not-inconsiderable effort of
producing a journal article" indicates a problem in the complexity of
the submission process.  Either there is an issue with the impression
of how difficult it is to produce an article, or it is actually to
hard to produce an article (or both).  Feedback on how to improve the
situation is welcome.

I helped Arnaud with the LaTeX style files so that he could write his
recent submission [1] in reStructuredText [2].

I think cleaning that up and presenting it as a submission option would help.  I
also discovered Dexy [3] this week.  Thinking of ways to support it may also
encourage more submissions.

There is also the Remote Module [4] system, which I will be improving, but I
think it is a good option.

Thanks,
Matt
