Yea, I thought we would need to agree on some categories - that's why
I haven't been diving in to the renaming yet. It's going to be a tough
balance of being descriptive enough while not having hundreds of
folders.

Another thing - do we keep the structure of
VTK/Examples/Mesh/Cxx/Something.cxx
and
VTK/Examples/Mesh/Python/Something.py
?

To me it seems a bit cleaner if it is separated by language:
VTK/Examples/Cxx/Mesh/Something.cxx
VTK/Examples/Python/Mesh/Something.py

And will we allow subfolders? i.e.(these are not necessarily
reasonable, but just to illustrate)
VTK/Examples/Cxx/Mesh/Operations/Subdivision.cxx
VTK/Examples/Cxx/Mesh/Operations/Decimation.cxx
VTK/Examples/Cxx/Mesh/Interaction/PointPicking.cxx
VTK/Examples/Cxx/Mesh/Interaction/CellPicking.cxx

Thoughts?

Thanks,

David
