[Insight-users] FastBilateral missing in ITK?

Thu Aug 19 22:23:20 EDT 2010

alright,

I was too lazy to dig it.

here it is:
there use to be a roadmap for ITK where the user community could let
the developers community know what they wanted:
http://www.itk.org/Wiki/ITK_Roadmap_2007_2008
http://www.itk.org/Wiki/ITK_Roadmap_2008_2009

right now it has been kind of replaced by the itk v4 page (as itk v4
effort span from june 2010 to june 2011).
http://www.itk.org/Wiki/ITK_Release_4.0
http://www.itk.org/Wiki/ITK_Release_4/Wish_List

all those is to take with a grain of salt, i m not positive this is
the right place (hence the "ask luis about where the right place is on
the wiki").

regards,

alex.
