A WikiBook for VTK (was RE: [vtkusers] I think this is the problem.....)

[HIRAKI Hideaki]

Hello Andy and Sebastien,

If you setup Wiki, could you transfer "Sebastien's VTK Links" 
there? It is an invaluable and well-formatted resource, but 
unfortunately doesn't seem to have been updated recently. In 
a Wiki, anyone could update it and complement the descriptions 
on the spot. I imagine that who published the pages maintain 
their links or transfer the contents.
It must be simple to add a new section howtos.

Regards,

Hideaki Hiraki
