The _Fast Marching_ (extra) effect in the **Segment Editor** module has a link to  
`http://www.spl.harvard.edu/publications/item/view/193`  
embedded as “The effect uses [fast marching method](http://www.spl.harvard.edu/publications/item/view/193)”, but the link seems to be dead.

I couldn’t figure out where it was supposed to link to.

@pieper Is the publication server at spl going to come online again? If not, I suppose we replace all links to it including those that might be in Slicer extensions.

Dead link in question is located at:

At this point it’s probably better to assume it’s not coming back and we should make other plans.

Could we upload all the papers in a github repository as release assets?

I’m checking. I don’t know if the machine died with no backup or if it’s just not set up.
