[Insight-developers] Q about adding new filter.

[Williams, Norman K]

Some time back, Torsten Rohlfing wrote a filter that I found useful in a
program I'm working on: An AverageImageFilter.

The source code is available here:
http://www.stanford.edu/~rohlfing/software/

At the time he posted about it on the ITK developer's list (2005!) Luis
ibanez recommended he submit it as an Insight Journal article. Mr.
Rohlfing did not do this at the time.

Averaging images is actually fairly common thing in image processing.
Rohlfing's implmentation was exactly the sort of multithreaded
implementation I contemplated writing myself.

The question: If I want to get this into ITK, should I just submit a
Gerrit Patch, or go through the process of writing an Insight Journal
article?  I'm tempted by the gerrit route because it leaves out the
not-inconsiderable effort of producing a journal article.
