[Insight-users] updating softwareguide ?

[Badri Roysam]

Another suggestion is to use the open source trac system:

http://trac.edgewall.org/

Each wiki page for a software module could have a link to the module-specific source code.
This will make it easier for a lot of users to reach the code more efficiently.
