[vtk-developers] How do I contribute a reader for ParaView / VTK?

[Karthik Krishnan]

In addition, it would also be best if you could contribute tests
exercising the reader. Untested code is generally considered broken.

If you need help getting datasets needed for the tests across to the
developer, that may be too large for emails to handle, you can use the
following link:
