Just a reminder, Andrew is doing this on his own time just for fun and making a huge impact over the years (including things like the textbook and vtk examples) :-). I am loath to say “no” to anybody who may have an interest in improving VTK. On the other hand I agree that there are other file formats that could be improved (e.g., I keep tripping across X3D in interactions with my customers). So as a community I’d generally prefer ways to find fun and creative ways to redirect coding passion into a positive path forward. Fortunately people in the VTK community are amazingly cooperative and want to do the right thing. It is clear that there is a need to somehow capture VTK state, (I’ve generally resorted to Python scripts for this) - I’m wondering whether with a little head scratching we can clearly define an actionable path forward and then assemble a skunkworks project to get it done.
