[Eric E. Monson]

Thanks, both of you, for taking the time to explain the situation. This makes sense and is much more clear to me now. I'm excited about these developments and will take a closer look soon. Keep up the good work!

Talk to you later,
-Eric

Will some new classes keep moving into VTK/Infovis, or will that be pretty static and new work will go into the Titan repository? It sounds like they'll be more separate projects now. Also, will vtkSNL now be public, or will that still be (or what I've understood to be) a private repository?
