[ome-devel] Image impoorters

[Ilya Goldberg]

Hi All
I know that some of you have developed your own flavors of image  
importers for getting images into OME.
I have been working on some much needed cleaning up, bug fixing and  
optimizations in the import code (sub-classes of  
OME::ImportEngine::AbstractFormat), but unfortunately it will almost  
certainly break importers that are not in the code-base.

Basically I wanted to take a little survey to find out how many  
custom importers are out there, and how this transition should be  
handled:
A.  Commit new importers to CVS-HEAD and wait for the screaming.
B.  Commit new importers to a branch for testing, then move to HEAD  
and wait for the screaming due to the ignored branch.
C.  Volunteer to fix other people's importers for them.

Probably everyone would prefer option C, but that all depends on how  
many of you are out there.
