Hey Dave,
   After this Tuesday, I'll be glad to help in any way I can. Let me know
what you need help with.

I have also updated the Parametric Surfaces White Paper correcting a few
errors and typos and also converted all the code to run using VTK 6 and
converted the TCL code to Python, so the old PDF can be replaced if
applicable. I would also like to make the Latex code and the TCL/Python
code available somewhere.

Regards
    Andrew

> Hey gang,
>
> We've started cleaning up the accumulated clutter that we call the VTK
> wiki page. With a collection of maybe twenty years' information up there we
> are suffering more from a proliferation than a scarcity of information. Our
> goal then is to streamline and improve the content to make it easier to
> find the important stuff and especially to get started using VTK.
>
> As such we have or are about to:
> * change the top level wiki page from:
>   http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Deprecated_frontpage
> to:
>   http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/VTK
>
> * remove or update old and often conflicting content (I'm looking at you
> FAQ!).
>
> * switch to a ParaView style download form on the webpage, where you pick
> from drop down boxes what you want to download.
>
> * Adhere to "one set of examples to rule them all" or "there can be only
> one set of examples". The in source VTK examples:
>   ${VTKSOURCE}/Examples
> are being updated and will eventually move to the VTK Wiki examples
> project:
>   http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Examples
> Regression test results for the wiki examples will move to the VTK
> dashboard where more developers will see them.
>
> * the VTK web site will receive its own facelift in the coming months,
> like ParaView's recently did, for much the same reason.
>
> If you have any concerns about any of this or have some spare time and
> would like to help update the documentation and example, please let us
> know.
