Well, actually I was thinking about a full history of POV-Ray.

BTW Anthony was telling me that there was a document in twysted.net

I think that somewhere in www.povray.org there should be some pages
dedicated to the history of POV-Ray. After all (I'm afraid I can't count
anymore after reading the thread about the new millennium) povray will
be 10 years old in one year and sometime more.

For example:

Well, I was thinking aloud.

I also suggest the creation of a museum. The galleries could be named
after the distinct POV-Ray versions and could hold representative scenes
done with the version in question.
