This page describes the multiple mechanisms available to contribute code to the ITK Ecosystem.
Overview
Level of Contribution
Bug Fixes
Bug fixes are contributions that repair defects reported in the Mantis Bug Tracker or repair daily defects that creep into ITK.

- Posted as Gerrit Patches
- Peer-reviewed
- Cdash@home tested
- Merged
New Classes and Filters
A new class (or filter) must be submitted to the Insight Journal.

Internal Modules
External Modules
External modules are ITK-like modules that cannot be included in ITK because of license issues or should not be included in ITK because of scope and/or specialized use. For an example see the Lesion Sizing Toolkit.
External Layers
Software that presents a different interface to ITK. For example see SimpleITK.
Applications
Applications are programs that often provide a GUI and/or use other toolkits, e.g. VTK.
Wiki Examples
Wiki examples are independent, compilable examples that illustrate ITK concepts. Follow this procedure to add a Wiki example.
NOTE: The examples illustrate existing ITK classes and do not introduce new classes.
