[vtkusers] Where Do I Put c++ Examples?

[Arturo Caissut]

Hi David,

I think you should talk about your examples to the members of the vtk 
developers mailing list: maybe this would lead to an inclusion of your 
code into vtk package as a "power up" for the already existing Examples 
section. By the way, I think this wouldn't resolve beginners' problem in 
finding (and using) them... It's not an easy problem to handle, I think: 
my first answer would be "Create your own vtk examples website", but 
this would not represent a good interaction with vtk community in my 
thought, also because as an user pointed in a mail some days ago there's 
already a problem with vtk website, that is not the first page showed 
when one searches for vtk classes on the Internet (another vtk related 
big size website would make this even better, wouldn't it?).

Maybe the better way would be to ask for the inclusion of your code on 
the package, and to suggest developers to make clearer to find Examples 
on vtk directory tree.

Regards,
Arturo
