Folks, I am working on two remote modules for ITK. Here is a summary of my experience:
1) It is a great way to integrate external contributions. 2) The process is simple. Process suggestions: 1) Remote modules should set EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL in the itk_module. Without this, there is no way to disable the remote module, once it is fetched. 2) We might consider removing Modules/External. I don't see much of an advantage to having it. 3) We should advertise it more. It only requires adding one file to Modules/Remote to integrate small and large contributions. I was able to add an Insight Journal article (with one class) and the ITK Wiki Examples (with almost 300 examples) as Remote modules with very little effort.
