<div dir="ltr">Hi,<div><br></div><div style>It is nice to know of the efforts being made by different people towards increasing the accessibility of ITK/VTK. </div><div style><br></div><div style>As a suggestion I would like to make the following points :-</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>a) Good and efficient experience with ITK/VTK (including understanding the documentation) requires a proper knowledge of OOPS. Although it does not matter for small programs, but for large projects where efficiency is of concern, this is very important.</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>There should be some material in this regard covering the aspects of OOPS . Although many such references exist, but for new ITK/VTK users, all of that should be available at one nice place.</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>b) A serparate site dedicated to ITK/VTK education would be great for new users.</div><div style><br></div><div style>c) Apart from the mailing lists, some forum would also be a nice place for ITK/VTK users.</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>We have a long way to go before ITK/VTK gets absorbed in a greater population working in medical imaging. But i believe these points can help in this regard..</div><div class="gmail_extra">

<div dir="ltr">Hi Ujjwal,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks for the feedback and welcome to join the ITK community.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>You are right that the Software guide for ITK is not quite update to date and does not cover all aspects of the toolkit, and hopefully we will be able to revive it soon. Just want to point out a few more places for new members: 1) You can find
a lot more information on the <a href="http://www.itk.org/Wiki/ITK" target="_blank">wiki page</a>. 2) We have recently started<a href="http://insightsoftwareconsortium.github.com/ITKBarCamp-doc/" target="_blank"> ITKBarCamp</a>, with the purpose of facilitate new community members. 3) Also
please check out the on-going project of <a href="http://itk.org/ITKExamples/" target="_blank">ITKExamples</a>, which contains a good collection of examples for using different ITK classes. 4) The mailing list is always the best place to ask any ITK questions.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Please let us know if you have more ideas or suggestions of helping new ITK users.</div>
<div>Thanks.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Best,</div>
<div>-Xiaoxiao</div>
