The goals of the CommonTK are to: provide a unified set of basic features for use in medical imaging using BSD style licenses facilitate the exchange and combination of code and data document, integrate, and adapt successful solutions avoid duplication of code and data continuously extend to new tasks within the scope of the toolkit (medical imaging) without burdening existing tasks Past meetings: initial meeting in Heidelberg in June and a second meeting in Oxford, UK in September. CTK is a pro-tempore group of like minded technically oriented software tool builders. We expect to release a first version of CTK within a year.
