[vtkusers] VTKDB : GUI for VTK (was [DEMO] amira)

[Mark Beall]

I'd just like to throw in one personal opinion on one aspect of
this. I know some people will disagree with this, but I feel that
a project such as this should probably use C++ as its implementation
language (with, perhaps, some kind of scripting capabilities, if needed,
provided by wrappers to another language, like VTK does), because:
- using other languages that are wrapped around the C++ implementation
of VTK adds complication and overhead. 
- debugging something written in mixed languages is typically much
more difficult.
- you're likely to find many more people interested in contributing
to such a project that are C++ programmers than language X programers.

Again this is just my personal opinion. At this point, if this project
goes forward, I don't see myself or my company being able to contribute
much in the way of time (right now any time related to VTK is directed 
at solving performance issues). However, if in the future we did have 
time, we're much more likely to contribute if there isn't the overhead 
of: learning a new language, installing and learning appropriate 
debugging 
tools for that language, etc.
